san francisco is not the first city breaded the fire. >>> i think because the exhibit is not about religion but it is about the inspired creativity and perseverance that our religion inspired in the religious women. you won't see a lot of things about catholic faith or the faces and the persons who are doing the work. but you see a lot of amazing things in the exhibit and things that will be in eyeopener i think to anyone who comes. we have to sneak away but the church is not better represented today or then that it is by women religious. are coming back with pictures so stay with us. >>> where back to talking of a ballot wind and spirit in sacramento and the wonderful work of catholic women religious in california of last several hundred years. we're looking at. >>> i think oroville looking at here is the duty of the exhibit as it was set and the other people that contributed to the execution of the exhibit. it's specious and open with wonderful photos and artifacts with a number of things that will be really exciting to see in the tv monitors are around to see parts of the story. they wan

important that we're having this conversation in san francisco because san francisco was one of the first cities to pass a law restricting drug use back in the late 1800's. not surprisingly, as was noted by alice in her talk, that first drug law was specifically directed at opium use and it had its bases in discrimination. it was specifically designed to target the chinese community for their drug consumption and completely ignored similar drug consumption by europeans here. in that way, that that law here in san francisco was based and built in discrimination, so have all of our drug policies in the u.s. parent is not an accident that we have chosen to target cocaine as opposed to ritalin, opiates as opposed to other products that we have targeted. all of the laws that we have passed initially were linked to monogamy is. the first anti canada's law was directed towards mexicans and an effort to control their behavior. the first loss against cocaine were specifically directed towards african-americans. the passage of these laws, you hear the same arguments being made, that these people are econo
