to come into the movement you're being called not only to celebrate dr. davis legacy but one hundred and 20 unit is a good start let's get to the rest of it. 90 of those units will go to folks in alice grifrth so they can have a place but the next phase is the neighborhood we have to build leader pelosi and i will be at hunters view last thing there's been a lot of steroids about those gold coins that weref. found somebody was visually that that would be lucky for us whenever i've come to bayview i've also found gold

coins they're the people you're the gold coins that everybody is looking for (clapping) because when they find i and when we're found we are the richer for that as a whole city. this is how i see the bayview hunters point and the other areas let's make those areas rich bits both who we are as people and joining us u up and making more people involved this is what the city is about. the gold rush was an triathlons finding the people making lives changed and transforming them and making sure the people who wanted to be here will have the opportunity. this is what dr. davis was about and exactly what kathy it doing

we've got senior housing 20 will be for homeless individuals we've made that promise and 3 thousand unit are fulfilling that and tony is making promises i'm there to make sure we getting get to those promises so sophie is saying i'm still waiting she'll be enjoying progress and milestones. getting another story for you kids so when you take over kids we're not giving us detect this is an enjoyable day but let's turn around and call other to this movement so we built this build more and more there's so much more to do and i'm calling you out to bring other.

woirs he wanted to make sure our father addressed great grandparent will live their life with district and faith those are the block we're breaking here today. everything i've said about dr. george davis can be said about kathy davis (clapping) as we all knows kathy is unstoppable and unflapable in.com building you don't want to get between kathy davis and her vision. when she whacks the traffic at the capita the traffic parts as if missouri's was in the

building (laughter) and she reminded me in putting the financing together one of the loose pieces was $20 million that redevelopment agencies in the past recollection is dollars we had to go to the difgdz those were owed and due and the governor was not going to use them to use for other purposes but to use on this project so contacting thank you for a carrying on the vision and keeping up the fight and doing it with a spirit and style of elegance i've never seen so from the state to you dr. georges

you know, i really want to talk about what exactly we're here you've heard about the 20 years but what 20 years has brought us is one hundred and 20 units of senior housing that's right here where we are today. it's not only been a dream for 20 years but it's the exciting moment for the community. as i look at i see so many community leaders and people who have been with us at the beginning that is about respecting your seniors. thank you (clapping) and it's out of this place of respect that we stiefr to build a safe and beautiful place for them to stay in the community

that we were raised in and raised their families and community they continue to see their children and great grandchildren to be strong healthy members of society. they'll get to see their grandchildren and great grandchildren more often they have their elderly to guide them a continuum of life in the bayview hunters point community we're about power and moving forward collectively as one community as our ancestries has down in the past this is the african-american community no longer will people have to seek outside of the community for housing in minded african-american community our history has been past down to us nor years and once we put the

final screw in the building we'll help to preserve that tradition that dr. davis fought figuring out and william kennedy fought for us all the way until the day they went home. thank you for the opportunity not only have i inherited a great opportunity i'll carry this past the finish line we'll see this built. there are a couple of people we must give praise to. we got to recognize the executive director that has received one more kathy davis the president of the board of directors and my right hand and vice president ms. orly and

staff that carries dr. davis legacy and help out so thank you very much >> i tried to think about this room as the dream room, where we dream and bring some of those dreams to life.

i feel very blessed that i have been able to spend the last 31 years of my life doing it my way, thinking about things better interesting to me, and then pursuing them. there are a lot of different artists that come here to work, mostly doing aerial work. kindred spirits, so to speak. there is a circus company that i have been fortunate enough to work with the last couple of years. i use elements of dance and choreography and combine that with theater techniques. a lot of the work is content- based, has a strong narrative. the dancers have more of a theatrical feel. i think we are best known for our specific work. in the last 15 years, spending a lot of time focusing on issues

that affect us and are related to the african-american experience, here in the united states. i had heard of marcus shelby and had been in join his work but never had the opportunity to meet him. we were brought together by the equal justice society specifically for this project. we were charged with beginning work. marquez and i spent a lot of time addressing our own position on the death penalty, our experiences with people who had been incarcerated, family members, friends of friends. pulling our information. beyond that, we did our own research. to create a picture that resonated with humanity.

it is the shape of a house. in this context, it is also small and acts like a cell. i thought that was an interesting play on how these people make these adjustments, half to create home. what is home for these people? the home is their cell. people talk a lot about noise -- very noisy in prisons. that is interesting to me. looking at the communication level, the rise of frustration of being caged, wondering, where does redemption fit into the equation here? [singing]

i think both of us really believe the death penalty is wrong, and is flawed for many reasons. the list is as long as my arm -- about several others. we feel this is important for both of us, personally, to participate in the debate of this issue in a way that we can help people frame it for a conversation.

>> bonnie banks. bonnie banks. my definition of noise is uncontrolled music. without format. pretty simple affair. pancakes, and you're -- people get up on sundays around noon, weekends or whatever. should not be too hard to walk into place. have your audio alarm clock go off for two hours waking your up while you are eating breakfast with many interesting visuals once in a while. improvisation. listening or not to

the person you're playing up against or people or machines. trying to get as many different people in as possible. different genres, experimental noise, electronics, dissonance some drums.a tiny bit of ambient -- the first noise pancake shows, 1999, the first waffle noise, 2001. god-waffle noise, noise pancake came out of cubist art, place on mission street, brutallo, where the church -- opened up

his house and saturday morning cartoons. a big space. you can have everybody set up and barely move equipment around; small room for an audience to move around, walkover and get pancakes without getting burned up in the kitchen. there's like people in their hard-core gabber; people into really fast death metal; black metal. people who don't listen to music at all. guy like larnie bock (sounds like) set up huge, motor

driven harp. i don't know how to explain it. 40 foot of motors that he had running over strings and wires. and then played each string individually with the mixer. there is a feeling of euphoria when somebody's really good at what they do. experiencing a buffer, pushing your bowels out your rear. different. a lot of noise. you don't play clubs with a cleaning schedule, a guy coming in the morning emptying the beer bottles. you play the warehouse. if you travel around you will see the exact same kind of weirdos

doing their own thing. it is like in the bay area it's even more absurd. there seems to be more people that in a place like new york or tokyo. we did a show in new york, i didn't think that anyone was at hardly, and people come up and said i saw the show. i wish they had some kind of breakfast noise going on over there. i think a lot of people were being, walking out of the shows. that was incredible. i can't believe it's over already, after two hours. if you are reluctant to enjoy something like this it will probably take a mass of peers to sell you on it.

it's fine if you stay away. most of the people that come to the shows are pretty happy to be here. you may not be one of them. which is fine.
