supervisor walton? >> supervisor walton: thank you so much, madam clerk. colleagues, today, i am introducing four resolutions around equity and justice reform. the first one is a resolution in support of implementing black studies as a part of sfusd k through 12 curriculum. a version of this resolution was introduced last week by commissioner stevon cook at the board of education meeting. we need a black studies curriculum that honors black lives and fully represents the contributions of black people in the global society. sfusd has introduced initiatives for the past 40 years aimed at closing the achievement gap between black students and their peers, and despite our best efforts, the gap has not closed. we learn about history from a white per spspective, and it h painted a picture of black people as being enslaved, poor, or in poor health. black history is often limited to dr. martin luther king or rosa parks shared in a one-time celebration in blam history month. but there are much lessons to be learned, such as the role of a black man in the san franci
