(laughter) now, mr. mayor, mr. mayor craig surone-on-one was on the command staff when i was mayor i don't understand why he didn't have better control now but he's cheap (laughter) it has been frankly

(laughter) eleanor had that responsibility (laughter) and this business one of the components of leadership is also making sure mr. mayor you have somebody to blame (laughter) and the one you select make sure

they're a solid in foundation so they can take it and absorb it and keep on moving. many of you around this as i look around we thought, you know, two or 3 hundred people would show up and lvld there's a hell of a lot more people showing. there are a few chairs in a small place but we wanted to celebrate i didn't realize you didn't have nothing to do on a saturday morning and needed a cup of coffee. there was a great debate on the staff side presentation of this event said we better do a tent because it had rained in

california in almost a year we need to do a tent because we don't want people to get wet etc. and no you can't do it on the inside and they gave us the count down date and it kept raining and raining and i said let's do that on my mothers birthday and they don't know that woman she's got a relationship with the lord. under the circumstances the sun will be shining on her oldest boy on the dated when you do the bridge (clapping) and so credit my mother with the sunshine. and clarence were up correct to ask that question because when

alice finally, called me they did this in secret he didn't want me to be involved taught u at all for fear i'd cause it to fall. they were keeping it out of my sight completely until some reporter named a journalist called me up and asked how did you organize straight this bridge for being named after you. i said what are you talking about he said they're talking about naming the by a bridge after you. and i said that is to the o not possible i'm two controversial and i'm alive (laughter) and, of course, they said well they are. i called eleanor and said

eleanor find out what's happening with the bridge naming and she got back to me and i called alice and alice hung up she didn't want to hear me she was going to do it no matter what. i'm glad she hung up it's occurred i'm now about to have the unveiling of the bridge itself but they screwed up they got the wrong end of the bridge. i share you a view that's what happens to black people in america you get the achievement and they change the rules. that's kind of the way it works (laughter) but it is an incredible on a

serious note frankly an incredible achievement and something i want to enjoy day in and day out. i love the cat on the streets read it was going to be named after me he said i'm kind of a tea bargain guy i don't like you at all but i'm going to enjoy rolling over you everyday (laughter) i always want to be accommodating. i'll tell you how significant this is from the african-americans started up. this kids in the school yard i go to make a speech to the school and i know, you know,

i've been out of politics for awhile officially. (laughter) unelected for a while and i warranted through the school yard and the little kids stopped and kept checking me out i'm hoping they'll think i'm j z or small business. i go in the school and as i start to come out this little 8-year-old black kid who has all his little friends lined up because he clearly in this highly integrated school has been telling them about me and probably bragging about me he said hey administers who did you used to be?
