vallie brown, because i knew you originally as vallie brown long before i knew you as supervisor brown, in, as i said, this morning at the transportation authority, in many incarnations. vallie had a lifelong before she came to city hall which we learned about along the way but worked for two remarkably tough bosses. and i want to say did not learn any of their lessons, because she treated her staff and all of her colleagues and everybody's staff with profound respect. so you did not learn any of the bad ways of those two individuals that you served. and i am not naming names. later on, vallie went to work for oewd where she was universally respected. and if you know that role, all of us think that we are being told untruths or half-truths. everybody absolutely knew when vallie came down the hall, she was telling nothing but the truth and the whole truth. and if you asked her the right questions, she would tell you what the infirmities were, and i profoundly appreciated that for one. supervisor haney actually referenced vallie's not only being a member of the indigenous community but h

jacob lawrence did a series on john brown's raid, and this is one of the print from that series. he used bold colors and geometrically simplified forms to express the interracial alliance of john brown's army. dangerfield newby was one of five black men who fought alongside his white allies, showing a interracial army armed with pikes. they are looking over the ramparts of the arsenal at harpers ferry, presumably looking at the state and federal militia who amassed to put down that particular raid. we have just wrapped up our tour of the first two chronological sections of the exhibition explored the colonial period through the civil war in which slavery was established in america. up to the moment when it was abolished with the civil war. the later chronological sections at the exhibition look at post slavery america, the period after the civil war through the present day. >> this was the first of a two part tour of the virginia museum history and cultural exhibit on 400 years of african-american history. you can watch this and other american artifacts program by visiting our we

dangerfield knew these reasons for joining john brown's army were much more personal. newby himself was a former slave even though he was free, his wife and children were still in bonda bondage. after several attempts to b obtain their free e dom through trying to raise money to purchase them, trying to negotiate with theirer, he was at his wits end and he joined john brown's army really out of desperation. trying to free his family after other avenues had failed. you get a sense of how personal this was for dangerfield newby through several letters, which were found on his person. dangerfield newby was the first man killed at harper's ferry. so he died on the first day of fighting and several let eters from his wife, harriet, were found on his person. these letters no longer survived, but were transcribed on the raid at harper's ferry. you can get a sense of what motivated him when you read his wife's incredibly poignant, very powerful and very painful letters ain which she's telling her husband the master, he's struggling economically. he wants to sell me and our chi

but i reside at mother brown, because it's a shelter.er, it's a place you can go for food. i heard that yesterday, that there is a company trying to overtake the shelter and that's the reason i'm here tonight. i'm just trying to applied for the mama brown's kitchen to continue to operate, because, first, it helps the city of san francisco. helping the homeless people. and secondly, the most important thing for me is that this lady, mother brown, she has put 45 years in providing housing or food for people. i mean for a lot of people here in san francisco. people that are coming through san francisco. that need some assistance. and i'm currently one of them. so 45 years of really hospitality to people. and for somebody to take over the shelter is good. but i think that her dream was to help people. and that's the reason why she put the 45 years into it. and so i'm really paying back to see that somebody would take over, so i'm just begging you to give opportunity, a second chance to continue the operation so that she can continue to fulfi

>> thank you, supervisor brown. president yi. >> i think i understand supervisor brown, where you're coming from, with this. i think this also -- projects i've been involved with, i've been pushing whatever i can with afforaffordability. if we just take the current situation and have no more additional resources to support affordable housing, i could almost buy into your argument but it's like the horse or the cart. if the state were to actually put substantial funding into helping with affordability, then we could do it. part of it is this is a state mandate, where is it state and let's get the funding? and maybe we could put more pressure because of that. you want us to build more, then help us with affordability. so there's a little bit -- i understand your argument but at the same time, i could argue, like, this forces people peace'd and put pressure on to force affordability. >> i agree with the state housing. i think that's something all advocates should be fighting for, we should be fighting for more funding

i'm here to support a true leader of community in vallie brown. there's not much i can say that no one has heard or witnessed themselves as colleagues here at city hall. but i believe it's important to express my disgust for the results of the recent district 5 supervisor election. it's an injustice, plain and simple. how you may ask i get into a level of comfort to say injustice? i received a wide range of threats on a regular basis that included death threats. i heard people affiliated with the campaign, including the candidate making insinuations that i'm being watched and followed and i met a guy named fig. that guy stalked me into a bar and introduced himself as the local neighborhood nazi leader. giving some explanation of his involvement in the election and threatened me if i didn't stop talking about politics. that right there assures me i'm on the side that's right, that's just. and yes, i said nazi. a group that's recognized as a terrorist group, that clearly liked the results of the election. i do hope that dean preston will be able to
