it was ed lee who invited the warriors back to san francisco and it was ed lee who called this his legacy be here today. his warmth, smile, his laughter made him so approachable and so genuine. he loved san francisco and the people here and we love mayor lee. let's take another look at his life. >> the san francisco mayor ed lee continues to live on and thrive. it's a legacy that extends far beyond politics and reaching far beyond the bay area. even if you're unfamiliar with the beloved san francisco mayor, chances are his life has affected your life. for many, ed lee is remembered for being the first asian-american politician elected mayor of a major american city. but this accomplishment overshadows a long and productsive career spent advocating for the rights of everyday people in the city he loved with all his heart. his sudden death in 2017 was an unbearable loss to the entire city. today, we proudly remember his early days as a human rights activist fighting for the very city he would one day represent on issues like workers' rights, immigration and affordable housing. mayor ed lee

mayors that have seen this, whether gavin, the late ed lee. it's a transition about people and i like the fact that the people in sanfrancisco, we never use the word i and me but use the word we and us and woke through it. and then the back and forth. i'm just moved by this project and want to see it get done right. this project, for future generations, you know,lyin' in the city, the average age is 27 years old. the younger generation and generations to come are going to benefit by to. the transformation in the city that i've seen in 16 years that i've lived here, this city has transformed. it keeps transforming. it went from, like, the flintstones to the jetsons and keeps evolving, living in the city. the culture, i think, that the gains and what you're going here is set in a different culture that other cities, i think, across the country want to talk about. because everybody always talks about what they have the best-looking stadium in the country. but the social, cultural things we've done and i want to say, jack, to you, because i've see

we have mayor ed lee's legacy in our memorial garden named after him.e can't be better covered than that. [ applause ]. >> i am managing not to break into sobs because this is such an amazing day and i am thrilled because it is now our mission to make this a model so that other schools know what is possible when you can no longer go home each night knowing that you have kids that you love every day that don't have safety, not okay. and can nobody tell you what can't be done. now i'm tired of yelling at you all. it's not your fault. sorry, craig is used to that. he said, no, that's not you yelling. that's you talking. so i have here with me a young woman named lynnie. i call her lynnie and i've known her since she was 16. she knows what it's like not to have a safe place to live and she found herself a family. and then after being in a few high schools, she came to life learning academy and thrived. i want her just to tell you a little bit about herself and she came here from long beach to be with us. she is family for ever family. our life learning fami

i remember when i first became a member of the board of supervisors and i went to our mayor ed lee andour priorities, i made it clear that public housing was my number one priority. he supported those efforts. in fact, i grew up in plaza east in the western edition, where i lived in public housing for over 20 years of my life. those conditions were very challenging. it wasn't just sadly the poverty and the violence that existed in my neighborhood. it was also the actual physical conditions of where i lived. the mold, the bathroom that basically had a number of challenges. we never even had a shower in the public housing unit that i lived in. the roaches, the lack of support that we got from our facilities crew to actually make the kinds of repairs where we could live in a place that was safe and live in a place that was the way that it should be for any resident of this amazing city. it was important to me that we made a change in san francisco because the same conditions that i lived in are, sadly, some of the same conditions that still exist in public housing today. so we set down th

we can also say that just before the bagging of mayor ed lee, one of the main things that he did was made third baptist a historical landmark. we appreciate that. and because of that, chris is planning on helping to restore third baptist to its luster, as it should be. and we thank him for that. also as i'm here today, i would also say that reverend brown would also like to endorse lydia sow as well. thank you so much. >> hello, my name is sarah white. i'm associate director of housing development, with t.n.d.c. i'm here to support lydia sow's nomination. tndc's mission -- we provide tenant and community services, community organizing and property management. we currently own and operate about 43 buildings across san francisco. and i've come to know lydia through her work on the arts commission, most recently i worked with her on an architect selection process for a project we're working on in the comptons, transgender, cultural district. in my interactions, i'm impressed with her technical skills and reviewing the proposals before her. what really stands out for me is her leadership
