the city is a charming city. what are some of the great charms of kansas city? >> the first thing is we know who we are.n't pretend to be someone else. we love new york and we are not new york and the want to be, frankly. we love san francisco but we don't want to be san francisco. where the creative crossroads of this country. we are surprisingly sophisticated our best assets are out people. -- are our people. you don't see is going around ragging on other seating eight -- other cities and being mean to them. we don't do those types of things. we welcome visitors into our home like we would hope to be held but -- like we would hope to be welcomed into theirs. it's a midwestern approach to things. we try to be friendly, we try to be open and we try to be welcoming to people. >> with going to happen in your city if the royals when? >> you need to rephrase the question. what's going to happen in the city when the royals when? >> what's going to happen? >> the city is going to go nuts. there is absolutely no way to say it but i'm going to make another prediction. everybody in the city is going to behave th

19th and 20th centuries as washington became the federal city, native diplomats and delegates from communities across the country as well as residents, people who came here to live and maybe work as lobbyists, even, claimed parts of the city as their own and marked them as indigenous in a number of different ways. i think this is important because it does a couple of different things. in terms of thinking about urban history, it complicates our story. i thought for a long time that the ways in which we conceptualize native history and urban history are separate. native history is taking place and going on and then at some point it stops and there is a gap. urban history starts. there is no meeting point between the two. in reality, i think we understand that that is not really accurate. that is what our popular culture, even our academic studies have suggested. in washington in particular, i think this is a really important story or set of stories because native people had a significant role in shaping the city. it is important to remember that washington was a local place before was a national capital. it had to learn how to become national an

the city of boulder. it was in the mountains. the city was founded as a supply town for the gold miners who were in the mountains. what you can see here is some of the equipment that the miners would have carried. b a lot of miners had aurro that they would have a tack on -- a lot of miners had a burro that they would put a tack on and a shovel. a lot of people thought they would get rich seeking gold and it did not work out, so they came back down and started businesses to supply the miners who were in the mountain. we are looking at the section of the exhibit that really focuses on boulder as a healthy place to be. today, boulder gets on many lists as the fittest city and the most healthy city and things like that. we can really trace that back to our early roots. one of the interesting things we found is that we found a breakfast menu from 1898. on the menu was granola. they were making granola in boulder in 1898, something a lot of people actually came out of the 1970's and the health food movement there. we can trace the health food movement in boulder back to the early years of our history. here, this over

d.c., became solidified as the united states capital, and after the civil war, there were several people who sought to beautify the city. one who was from washington paved the streets, covered the sewers, made many improvements. bankrupt in the city, but he did a lot of good for washington, d.c. around the turn-of-the-century, there was a mcmillan commission, so named because it was chaired by senator mcmillan. this effort was part of the city's beautiful movement, and many of the really beautiful buildings -- i personally think the library of congress is one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. union station from 1908 compares favorably with any train station anywhere, and if you have been to penn station in new york, you know what i'm talking about. and then there was also a movement of many of the wealthy from around the country seeing washington as a fashionable place. they want to come here, so they built many beautiful homes. the social season, wisely, was january and february as opposed to july and august. this was definitely before it conditioning -- air conditioning, but you can today go to dupont cir

who is here today. and i want to thank all of the amazing advocates and the city leaders who over the past 14 years, have moved forward, the 121 recommendations that we have adopted. but we know that we could do better. and when the statistic is that you look to your left and you look to your right, one out of three, we know that we can do better. for mary atchison we know that we can do better, for mary free mon we know that we can do better. for my good friend, (inaudible) we know that we can do better. and so i want to thank all of you for being here tonight. for helping to shine a light, for being part of our city of san francisco, and we are the city that revolutionized what love is about. from the summer of love, to marriage equality and i truly believe that some day, we are going to lead the revolution and we are going to lead the revolution to make sure that it is not just 44 months or 44 years, we will have a time period when no one is murdered again for domestic violence. thank you, and god bless.

the smoking age from 18 to 21. sheryl herd is in sonoma county. why do they want to do this? >> reporter: those who run the city would like to be considered healthy. if you are 18 years old you are considered an adult but some city leaders believe you are not old enough to buy cigarettes. >> if you make it harder to pie cigarettes we think it will reduce the amount of smoking. >> reporter: he is in favor of raising the legal age for buying tobacco products from 18 to 21. >> we thought this was a positive way to try to help the community by keeping young people to healthy. >> reporter: generally when people start smoking before 18 they will continue to smoke later in life, possibly causing health problems in the future. they voted 4-1 on monday to raise the legal age to buy tobacco to 21. only one councilmember voted against it. >> the state has said at 18 you are an adult. you can vote, go to work, and sign contracts. but we say we don't think you should be able to make up your mind about cigarettes. are we pushing the issue out of our city limits? >> reporter: it was tough to get people to go on camera about t

the city. i'm not sure it's intentional, but that is what is happening. we need to give credit to the youth whotood up for themselves and i wish there were many other parks in the city, who are probably encountering the same problems and there is no outreach to them. i think it behooves the manager and maybe the commission here to reach out to those communities to see what problems that they are really having? because one problem we have is we have no accountability and don't know if those people are facing the same issues that we're facing in the mission? so i encourage to you reach out to them and make sure that our youth here have a priority on those parks. not the adults. thank you. [ applause ]. >> thank you. [ applause ] >> commissioners we would like to introduce the kids and i would like all of them to speak consecutively. i know we have the two-minute time period. >> they will. >> the day of the incident, what happened -- >> speak into the mic, please. >> the day of the incident, when all of this occurred, we all felt like we were going to get kicked out of our home, because we always

reverse what has been happen for the past five years in the city, where our kids are being shutout of our parks across san francisco. it's up to you who are here to serve the people of this city, not the bottom line profits of the other rec and park department to ensure our kids don't have to keep going through this. it is maddening. i'm sorry i'm getting a little red in the face, but please don't let what these youth -- use the body that you have, use the authority that you have to ensure that kids across this city don't have to be forced out of our rec centers, forces out of our playing fields, forces out of our parks. open the parks for kids and stop the profit model. we're giving giant tax breaks and telling kids we can't afford to let them use the parks for free. this is not what san francisco is about and this is not what our parks are about and dedicate yourselves to ensuring that our parks are for our youth and our parks are for our people. thank you. [ applause ] >> let me make one observation before we continue and that is that there is no profit associated with the fees that are charged for permitting. it doesn't even cover

the city of richmond. and so, i want to call up actually, first i was hoping to call up the mayor who has come out from the city of richmond to talk about the efforts creating the program and truly the leadership in doing this program has come from her office in richmond, and although it is remarkable and exciting about their idea, that we are one of and we are potentially joining, is that the whole country is watching. and there are many places around the country, that have a very similar issue on the economics of home ownership, and as richmond does, and parts of san francisco does. and that are very interested in seeing what happens here. and if san francisco is in the process of joining a jpa and going to a jpa with the richmond, and the other cities could follow suit and the more that the cities are able to follow the suit and join, the greater the potential and power that we have to negotiate how we move forward, and how we move forward sometimes, against some of the resistance that will come from the financial sector, wall street and the banks and so a lot of mayor for being here and i appreciate yo

we will have members of the city council, first elected council, who were, in fact, clergypersons. it is important for us to remember that the faith community played a significant role in the governance of the city before and after home rule came into being. it has been a major force in making sure that people get the support and help that they need for healthy and wholesome living. and we don't want that left out, we don't want it to be forgotten that the wellbeing of the citizens in the district of columbia has been the result of the leadership often by the faith community. and somehow we're seeing a shift in that now. and we want to lift that up as well. the fact that it's important. the role is important and it's still important for the faith community to be gained. >> dr. demcheck, the city has changed a lot. what do you think about all of the changes, the development, the way the neighborhoods have changed? in your eyes does d.c. today bear any resemblance to the district that we saw 40 years ago? >> you know, 40 years ago the city was 70% african-american. today it's 45% afri

you have is a division in the county between, what i want to call urbanites, because herman is not really a big city when compared to the city, but you have bankers, shopkeepers who are telling the farmers how to behave, telling the city folk -- the city folk telling the farm wives on how to conserve the food. how to put more crop into the field, how to get a better yield, and you have the farmers saying, what are you telling me what to do? you live in the city. you don't get your hands dirty. you have this kind of division. the county very quickly gets a slacker label. they barely meet the quota for the first and the second liberty loans. they hardly get any women to sign the hoover food pledge. you've got men who are using every excuse that you can find of getting out of the draft, even if it means getting married at the last minute so you can move into category b to get out of immediately being drafted. the state council defines the county as a slacker county. what happens? you have upstanding citizens, including the mayor of the city of herman, a german-american himself, then canvassing door-to-door everybody in the county. they will identify you as you level
