the prioritization of pedestrian safety and bicycle safety and examining this cord as west and south selma and pushed for the environmental study including the situation widening and protecting bike latent prints and the potential to wave a reduction of car lanes and push for a pilot after the tragic death of a person last summer in addition to even though concerns of the ralph street i know that the boarder communities are interested in knowing in how to protect and enhance the unique residential enclaves the south of market and residents want further discussions will the driveway i want to thank the project sponsor and planning for putting together the driveway locations for redevelopment and i know the the planning staff in which susan has look at the site conditions in this project and area i know that the memo articulates the preference is to have the egress for the alleys rather than fulsome street i everything they take seriously the site conditions on a project by project base it was 1515 south van ness which our office worked on with the planning department it was unified and the

south. and we've been talking about selma and the south. >> yes.y tragic case. there's simply no reason to believe this young man would kill himself. he was a very outgoing young guy. he was talking about sports all the time. he was at 17 in a relationship with a 31-year-old white woman. that raised a lot of eyebrows. physically it's very hard to figure out how this guy who's relatively short could get up on that thing by himself and hang himself. the belt doesn't match. the shoes are wrong. something happened there. and i'm very, very concerned that there was klan activity in the weeks prior. this young man's grave was desecrated. there's something that is going on in that town and needs to be taken very seriously. racism is not over. even the worst kinds of racism is not over in this country. and we'd be very, very foolish to believe it is. >> we'll continue to follow as police continue to investigate there. thank you very much, van. thank you, martin iii, and also thank you charles blow. appreciate all of you. you're coming back. that's right. w

specifically within that we also have a commitment from the city to look at the south of market and in particular, the central selma plan elevates the projects within that context we did data analysis to give you you an idea you look at the pipeline and the projects so you can have a reference point for on about this project we look at all the entitled projects from the department data the balance is 26 percent the inclusionary units plus one hundred percent affordable against the projects that are fully entitled for construction 26 percent is not bad it's been thirty percent the pipeline going forward is there's a lot of market rate compare that to the inclusions and we're down roughly hallway of the thresholds so whether the current 26 percent which is an increment below the third or the pipeline projects that are going to be approved over the next year there's a whole thinking about the project how do we help to realize that minimum 33 percent as part of the central selma plan is the big question not to critique but 0 a they've done generally good projects the pier 40 they said themselves it was a mark for affor

the story of martin luther king and the protests in the streets down south, obviously, in selma. one of the things, you know, there were many frustrating bumps in the road towards this -- this moment. i actually got attached to the project officially in 2010. and still we struggled to get this film off the ground. but when i look at what's going on in the nation now, and it just being such a perfect time for this movie. you know, all of that frustration paves the way. >> i have to say you nailed that southern martin luther king cadence perfectly. how difficult was that? >> we must march. >> every day i would try to do something to try to get closer to him. because i knew this was going to be in my future at some point. i worked with an incredible dialect coach, and spent a lot of time with his friends. >> congressman john lewis was on the set. was that intimidates? >> it was extraordinary. i met him on the set. he walked straight up to me and said dr. king, it is so nice to see you again. >> wow. >> i was just frozen by that. because what a thing for him to say, having not seen h

what is coming out of the leadership of new york, police department, union, sounds like selma, sounds like the south in the '60s where people are just bear bone racist and where they stereotype the entire community based on the acts of one deranged man. they didn't do that when the young man shot the police officers in philadelphia. they didn't say that we're on war-time footing. the police are not at war with the police. they want the police to be held at a high standard. for them to think before they use deadly force and for a curtailment in this shoot to kill policy with police force all across the country. >> i appreciate you taking the time. kevin alexander gray civil rights activist from south carolina. >>> two victims died in their home when twisters ripped their homes apart in mississippi. damage is extensive in mario county. the storms have knocked off power to nearly so thousand homes. >>> the economic tide may be turning for cuba. cuban farmers are hoping this historic shift will bring more money to areas outside of popular tourism spots. we have reports from florida, which is just outsid

downtown plan with outlines that show downtown plan, mission bay south of market rezoning realistically, eastern neighborhoods area plans, western selma, central selma, transit center how close and what overlap on this plan the second thing i want you to pay attention to transit and traffic what mechanisms happened last night there was a major ball park in the entire south of market and in the financial district on transit going to the bridge blocking all the intersections all the way around wherever those covets backs up happen the first one is the victim is transit circulation is there any proposal or any mechanism roadway there's a debriefly of what happens when traffic comes to a grinding halt muni lost runs that's i don't understand that the area around this project has been totally bunker because of the combination of the salesforce and the oracle stopping of traffic open howard street as well as fourth street what mechanisms do we have and should we have to correct traffic studies and projections all the traffic things in the eir and every other eir have infancies because they're not real the real world of fifbt of market they'

added more pedestrians we should not have cars going in and out of the selma plan has considered to become evolving without irony southf market so i urge you to please maintains the parking ingress and egress on ralph street as it has been for dictates and frankly given the maim of time the developers have spent speaking to neighborhoods on the project i really don't see the need for a continuance but once again thank you so much for your time and attention if you have any questions on me a as a member of brainwash and the owner of that building feel free to ask. >> thank you. next speaker. >> commissioners i'm jamie black i live on ralph since 1998 my restroom and partner has been there for over thirty years we have in support of the project however, we are mainly in opposition to the placement of the driveway which is at narrowing point there are several reasons first of all, the angle of the ascents from the garage casts lights during the darker weather but other units additionally and he have a diagram of maps to show you fulsome is here my partner my roommate drew this this is a current driveway as it exists with

south. one of the most interesting parts was the relationship. serves as his bodyguard. they marched together. in selma during the demonstrations and 65, and that relationship comes to the four once he becomes chairman in may of 66. the meredith march from june 7 through june 26 26 transforms stokely carmichael's wife and the civil rights movement, where james meredith is shot on the second day of a one-man march across the state of mississippi to prove a black man could march without fear shot and injured. they come to his bedside and felt to continue his march. it is along that march that stokely, michael calls for black power. black power meant radical social cultural political and economic self-determination. they have political determination. people are equating that term with violence. the decision was collective. they need to start defining political and social phenomenon for themselves. even though their are disputes and disagreements, they find common ground in a shared love, especially poor black people. interesting now, we talk about the politics of ferguson, the black people were the poores

i have just seen the film selma, but i think it really defined him not only about where he was from in the southst and how to want to get involved and maintain a distance and get it right. >> the story that really catapulted him to washington fame was when he was the only correspondent that night at the white house. there was the failed rescue mission of the american hostages in iran and he got that story from the president of the united states. >> he did and told that story as well. they were going to give it to him and they wanted to wait until after midnight and after johnny carson was over. he had been going to the tonight show. they said i'm going to tell the story anyway whether i have a lot of information or a little so. and they did. >> it's also the tradition. he was the first true broadcast journalist who never had been a print journalist of his era. you had to work at a newspaper and get into radio and television. his goal was really to be a broadcaster. >> to be a broadcaster. he started on the radio station in his hometown and not the local paper. so he was a broadcaster and that is

selma, not 2014 new york city where folks feel they can't get justice. >> yeah. if you actually look at american history, tamron, it has never been totally north, south split. in fact, there was slavery in the north, there was discrimination in the north. if it wasn't classic jim crow, there were covenants that kept black people from living in certain neighborhoods and there were understandings about how black communities were policed, and so there is a continuum here. this didn't just start. and as to the question of whether or not it is a pattern, i think that was settled awhile ago. there is a pattern, if you look at it from a statistical standpoint, anecdotallanecdotals a pattern here. this is really, really troubling. it has to stop. >> but you have individuals that will say listen, i'm looking at social media traffic that asked the question this would have been avoided if eric garner had not resisted arrest, if mike brown had simply listened to the police officer, we would not be here. what is your response to that, eugene? >> talk about the eric garner case, first of all, there's a legitimate question as to was that resisting arrest. he was standing

south there have been thousands of racially motivated murders. >> we need your help dr. king this thing is going to have to wait. >> it cannot wait. >> you have one big issue i have 101. >> selma it is. >> here in this great battle. >> selma is the place. >> dr. king. >> i can tell you that white boy can hit. >> you will not-- it is unacceptable that they use their power to keep us voiceless. >> those that have gone before us say no more. >> people-- they're going to get inside of your head. >> what happens when a man stands up and says enough is enough. >> we build a path as we came rock by rock. >> we must march we must stand up. >> you march those people into rural alabama it will be open season. >> may i have a word. >> there is no word to be had. >> the people the people, the people, the people, the people ♪ ♪. >> there are 70 million people watching. >> this thing is going around the world. >> we must make a massive demonstration. >> white, black and otherwise come to sell ma. >> i have heard about the attack, about the innocent people. i couldn't just stand by. >> it looks like an army out there. >> this revolution goes on and on. this revolution goes on and on. >> i ha
