12:53 pm
dance -- festival and so many more and together we are joined to telling the many stories of the world fair a moment in history where san francisco stepped back and onto the world stage. think back with me about 100 years ago and close your eyes if you are tired, it's helpful. to an extraordinary set of exhibitions that filled this place, the master piece, the palace of fine arts. the fair covered 635 acres and the walls city a top basically we reclaimed bay land. think of domed palaces, palmed lined courts and monumental statutory. all of this arose miracle that over a
12:54 pm
decade occurred after the earthquake and fire. just in a few years these entire acres were transformed and were the remarkable displays of innovation and being called electricity. the agriculture and despite the onset of world war i, 21 foreign nations built pavilions and joined the many millions of americans. if you were one of the people that came in december 20, 1915, you might gaze at the wonder of the tools of the light shows brought to this thing called electricity. you would have seen the model of the panama daniel -- canal and

what san francisco fought to get from congress to celebrate the completion of the canal. you could have seen demonstrations of pageantries and what it will bring to america and the world. it's now my honor to present the man as mayor ross and my mind that em bodies the dell against -- intelligence in the city like few ever has mayor ed lee.

international exposition we are celebrating today. i'm enthusiastic about literally everybody i see in this audience whether it's with the arts organization, or education institutions, our writers and people that have talked about this city for so many years, you have to understand how important this is. i'm a student myself and i know that this city that i have the most kind of privilege for managing as a mayor is delicate as a city and one in history, and to be able to kind of take a look 100 years ago and try to imagine yourself in this city 100 years ago with some of these artifacts that just came off the manufacturing line at the
12:58 pm
time, or to take a look at this architecture that bernard may back was so famous for during the time they were blending the arts with real lives of people and to suggest that this is among us 100 years later and that there is something that links this history over 100 years and that word that time and time again you hear me say about today. innovation did not start 3 years ago with mayor lee. that's another fact i want to kind of dispel. innovation was over 100 years ago and it started with so many people in san francisco suggesting through this fair that they started that we could celebrate going forward our imagination of what was then,

now and tomorrow. that's the t and t of this team that we have to celebrate. i'm excited for it because there is an opportunity with all the sponsors that we have and with the enthusiasm with charlotte and donna and others bring to this. the imagination that innovation hangar brings, the historic evolution of at & t that we get to lead is all a part of this historic is documenting and one thing i think our youth need to understand where we as people come from in san francisco and what history allows us to be that innovation wasn't just something that an app discovered. it was the spirit
1:00 pm
of people that have been here for generations. and over 100 years ago if i get to teach the young tech kids what history was then hopefully we appreciate what innovation was across many industries across to board about the spirit of people and what we do for each other to bring in a strong community. you are going to find this out if you read this book that i have just been handed that's going to be part of this celebration, the jewel, a city that it is called. i take you back to this very building that we are in. the good symbol of what bernard may back designed this full arts and suggest to you that this began that movement 100 years ago and now the help of some
