unlike harriet tubman who's pretty well-known of course. the thing that struck me in reading through the document is the incredible variety of ways in which people escaped, reasons for their escaping, how they escape. some escaped on foot which is a traditional idea. they hate during the day and went through the woods at night. most of them escaped that way. many escaped on boats. they were ship captains in virginia who are willing to hide on boats heading north. the slaves had to pay them money to do that. some of them escaped on train. frederick douglass did that in 1838. if you could get the free papers of a free black person you could get on a train and go north and now it's easier than going through the words. about the installer appropriated the horse-drawn carriages of their owners and fled from maryland to pennsylvania. many escaped in groups. post another thing that surprised me. groups of relatives sometimes women with small children. they were helped by also as a people. below the mason-dixon line they were generally held by blac

okay, harriet? >> hi, thank you, brian and solomon for coming today. i just want to mention that i had applied for affordable housing or below market housing three times and by the time i reached 50 i just gave up. but i think that this is really great about how you are simplifying the initial process because i had to run around, get all my information every time like within 7 days while maintaining my employment. so by the third time around i gave up. it's really a lot of stress and what you are doing here that's really great because i have already been in that process. >> yeah, that's what i think we are noticing is that you do all this running around and unfortunately you know only a few people are actually going forward with that. so it's almost, it compass -- exacerbates the frustration and when you make them run around it makes it worse that you put in all this time. we still have to deal with the fact that ironically in some sense, the success of this application will mean that the waiting list might become even longer. that's the flip side of t

. >> okay, i have a question from council member member harriet wong? >> thank you for your presentation, mr. franklin. so with the new cars, i was wondering are there going to be less space because i'm a bart rider also. >> there are going to be less seats. i believe there is 56 seats versus 60 on the current fleet. we are having, let me hold up the -- so because of the third door, it takes away seats but that does allow faster boarding and makes it easier for people to get on and off the train. so right now there is getting we have unfortunately the bart system we have four lines feeding to san francisco. so any problem in san francisco backs up the whole system. so we really need to get people on and off the trains through two doors. people like to stay by the door so they can get off even though they might not be getting off immediately. this third door comes at a consequence of less seats. >> thank you. >> is there any questions from staff? >> yes. to the chair. >> sorry, you snuck in there. council member kostanian has a question. >> i wonder for

my mother was harriet bailey. colored and quite dark. my father was a white man. it is a common custom in the part of maryland to pull children from their mothers at a very early age. my mother and i were separated when i was an infant. and i never saw her more than four or five times in my life. my first master was a cruel man hardened by a laro -- a long life. he seems to take pleasure in whipping a slave. i suffered little from anything else other than hunger and cold, but my feet had been so cracked with the frost that the pen with which i am writing may be laid in the gashes. my next mistress, mrs. a bang, -- mrs. auld taught me the alphabet. she assisted in teaching me how to spell words. her husband forbade her from instructing me, saying, he should know nothing but then to obey his master. if you teach them to read, there will be no keeping him. from that moment, i understood the pathway from slavery to freedom. i set out with high hope and a fixed purpose, to learn how to read. lincoln: i am naturally antislavery. if slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong
