former san francisco mayor willie brown served as featured speaker for the 29th annual keeping the dream alive multicultural rally. brown addressed how disappointed dr. king would be about the ongoing systemic racism in the u.s. but he expressed how proud the civil rights leader would have been to see kamala harris sworn in as vice president on wednesday. >>> usually on mlk day we see large service projects across the country to honor the civil rights leader. this year it obviously looks different because of the pandemic. but the overall mission, that is still the same. abc 7 news anchor jobina fortson with more from oakland. >> reporter: marcus van new represents the organization service for peace. they received a grant to support and promote oakland's mlk 40 days of service initiative. rather than honoring dr. king on just one day, this will continue through the end of black history month. he's participated like this for decades and hopes you'll start doing it too. >> 40 days is not a new idea. but this year more than ever it's become a great opportunity because we're going to avoid bi

. >>> former san francisco mayor willy brown is talking about california's slow rollout of the covid- quarter of the more than 2 million vaccines have been administered. speaking with abc 7 news in a phone interview brown believes in simplifying the process. he gave us his thoughts on why the state's elected leaders chose this cautious rollout strategy. >> they just don't know any better. we people who have been in the world of politics are literally so wedded to the idea of not making a mistake we don't do anything unless it's allegedly perfect. the vaccine won't work that way. >> brown says he hasn't gotten the vaccine yet and he hopes his rollout plan which he wrote about in the "san francisco chronicle" will capture governor newsom's attention. >>> the nba has no plans to pause their season but after contact tracing and quarantines have thinned rosters. last night's game between the heat and celtics was postponed because miami doesn't have the minimum eight players required due to contact tracing. steve kerr says if it gets to be too much he believes the league will shut down agai

sanders was the city's first black police chief appointed by mayor willie brown.rved from 2000 to 2003 after six years as assistant chief. sanders died of kidney failure. he was 83 years old. he was called upon any time there was a dispute between neighborhoods of people. they trusted earl to referee so to speak. so earl was a little different than an ordinary chief because he was truly of the people. sanders was also a homicide detective. he worked on some of san francisco's most notable cases, including the zebra killings in the 19 seventies and the mass shooting at one of one california in 1993. yeah, the first jeopardy episode taped after alex trebek's death aired last night, ken jennings, who was the longest winning streak on the show was the first in a serious of guest host. jennings started last night show with the tribute to the beloved toes who died november 8th from pancreatic cancer. not many things in life are perfect. but alex did this job pretty much perfectly for more than 36 years, and it was even better up close. we were dazzled by his intelligenc

this morning we get additional word that willie brown had his name stripped from a school because of his efforts in gentrification of san francisco, which leads to the question, were any of these people in san francisco when willie brown was mayor there? . >> it's so insane. and the mayor, london breed, has been talking repeatedly how insane this is. the schools in san francisco are not open. the school board spent seven hours changing any name that anybody possibly raised any offense too, including abe lincoln, george washington, dianne feinstein. it is political correctness run amok. when the school system faces such a crisis and needs to be focus using on how can we safely reopen the schools, it is ridiculous even by standards of san francisco politics. but the mayor doesn't run the schools. it's up to the people in the city who want to decide do we want a school board focused on education or stupid outrages like this. but so far, you know, a few months ago an advisory board was recommending this. and i thought the school board hasn't voted on it and are they really going with this

i used to go down there at 5:00 in the morning with willie brown, and we became an example of national emergency preparedness. but nobody taught the harsh lessons of the 1918 pandemic, which we are learning and re-learning right now. so i really want to thank our frontline responders our doctors our nurses, ambulance drivers. and we've got a clear mandate to continue to reform health care which started actually in san francisco. we had quasi public health care in this city -- thank you tom -- before obamacare or the affordable care act was passed in the united states of america that has hung on after four harrowing years. and as they say i work with a few indian tribes in nevada. we're going through a pretty heck of a rough patch right now and we're going to have to make some painful decisions mr. president colleagues, madam mayor. it's going to be quite difficult. and whether it's my constituents in chinatown or north beach or our constituents from the sunset or anywhere on this side of the san mateo border, let's be clear -- 2021 may actually get worse before it gets better. but i kn

representative barbara lee, and former san francisco mayor willie brown, among others, are going to speakverybody. winds picked up especially in our hills and in the north bay valleys last night. 25 miles per hour in the east bay hills camera. if you're going to be outside, just be careful of those winds. also we've got rough surf with our beaches until 6:00 this evening. sneaker waves, long run-ups, rip currents, stay off the rocks and move a little bit farther back than normal. records today, reggie. >> okay, mike, thank you. >>> coming up on "gma," the growing concern about soaring screen time for kids during the pandemic and what parents can do to try and help break that habit. we'll have another ♪ ♪ are you ready to join the duers? those who du more with less asthma. thanks to dupixent. the add-on treatment for specific types of moderate-to-severe asthma. dupixent isn't for sudden breathing problems. it can improve lung function for better breathing in as little as 2 weeks and help prevent severe asthma attacks. it's not a steroid but can help reduce or eliminate oral steroids. dupix

aurelius walker, and i were pulled together by then-mayor willie brown to meet with the lennar and shipyard development director. we met with them and we were told that there would be shipyard development ahead, and we should get ready to participate in the shipyard development. following those meetings, we met with and partnered with mr. hermann and mrs. peggy black blackman, the owners of amanco, and we founded tad-amanco, and we pursued a relationship of working with lennar and serving as an independent developer. we brought on mr. gerald green, who began to serve as our project manager, so to speak, for the task, and we were introduced to mr. augustine maximus, and then, we formed what is called palmelia by the bay, as you receive us today. i want to thank you at long last, making it possible to present. we want to thank everyone for helping us get to this place, and we're very happy now to present in full mr. gerald green. >> thank you, dr. macrae. i'd like to again by, again, emphasizing the importance of this project as a community development center. we believe, and i'm sure that ev

alicia, the tjpa was the creation of then assembly member carol migdon at the request of then mayor willie brown jr. and was in essence another redevelopment agency, but with a different hat and a different mission. and phase one of that obviously was the building of the transbay terminal. and the second phase is, of course, bringing at a minimum caltrain into that facility and hopefully some day high speed rail with visions of a second crossing that may go through that facility. what i would like to visit with you about and there's actually a body of work that was done under the auspices of the county transportation authority, and there is no right answer to this, but what you envision as the future of the tjpa, both in the near term and the longer term, if you want to ruminate on that. >> i do think that that phase 10 action is really essential. and of course, we have to go in stages and make sure that the trains can actually make it up into the central location and on over, but i again would hope that sitting in this center of the regional connection as the terminal now does would put us in a
