we have the willie brown memorial -- mayor willie brown memorial family room. we have mayor london breed's beautiful baskets that she sent to us yesterday for every kid that's going to be living in there. we have mayor ed lee's legacy in our memorial garden named after him. we can't be better covered than that. [ applause ]. >> i am managing not to break into sobs because this is such an amazing day and i am thrilled because it is now our mission to make this a model so that other schools know what is possible when you can no longer go home each night knowing that you have kids that you love every day that don't have safety, not okay. and can nobody tell you what can't be done. now i'm tired of yelling at you all. it's not your fault. sorry, craig is used to that. he said, no, that's not you yelling. that's you talking. so i have here with me a young woman named lynnie. i call her lynnie and i've known her since she was 16. she knows what it's like not to have a safe place to live and she found herself a family. and then after being in a few high schools, she c

locally, from former mayor willie brown, and others, reverend brown, matt gonzalez, alice walker, when chan, i can only tell you there's others. they will eventually come out to tell this city or the board that anything less then leaving them alone will be something not acceptable. we would consider some other things, but they need to go back to square zero. a second vote that they did on august 13th was a response from their unanimous vote to whitewash. that tsunami started an incredible set of energy from the national coalition against censorship, and numerous other organizations that have come out to support this. the former n.e.a. executive director for barack obama was appalled that this even happened , and when the short notice to have an open house on august 1st, i sent an e-mail because the school district supposedly told people there was going to be a two hour window to see these murals because there was an outcry, and real briefly, it turns out that -- that's how important he feels and supporting our cause. i'm sorry, i don't want to take any more time. if you have anymore qu

then-state senator quentin kopp transferred the property to the city for one american dollar, willie brown was mayor. and there was a little neighborhood fight about what we were going to do with those parcels. one was going to be a police station, one was going to be a butterfly museum, one was going to be affordable housing. i am pleased to say that today, they are all affordable housing for the city and county of san francisco. that is remarkable. [applause] >> supervisor peskin: now, it is true that i wanted this site, even though my friends at the barbary coast neighbors disagreed, i wanted this to be a temporary navigation site. but the mayor and i and supervisor haney have teamed up to find one not so far away. and i also want to agree with the mayor that affordable housing is actually not that affordable, and we all know the numbers that we just saw, the homeless count. and it's just not san francisco, it's portland, seattle, and los angeles, continue to rise. so here are 53 units that are going to keep some of my seniors -- and this is the district that has the highest percentage

locally, including matt gonzales, reverend brown, former mayors willie brown, and many others. we support the sfusd staff recommendation not to whitewash, or destroy the historic arnautoff mural at george washington high school. the board must now go further and abandon its plan to cover or censor any of the mural panels. the association members stand ready to help develop a curriculum and interpretive program to educate current students and future generations about these important murals, and the history they portray. thank you for your time. >> i am an elder of the -- we heard all of this controversy. i believe those murals are our evidence that genocide happened. that is why they should stay up. without in mind, as an elder, i just want to suggest to you. you did this for other people, why not do this for our people. have a native counselor there, because one of the issues i'm hearing is that it is affecting our native people in the safe space. we have ceremonies for that. why not use that? why not bring in a native, spiritual guide, to help our people. they are going to fac

we asked the former mayor willie brown about the candidates getting the ticket to the next round. >> what they are trying to do among democrats is reduced the size of people in the primary so that we can concentrate on the general. unfortunately, so far, it has backfired. all of these democrats have been running only for the primary victory and ignored the fall. and believe me, that is not what we ought to be doing. >> i don't think there's any way to complain about the amount of control the party is exerting here. if anything, i think people wish they would observe more control and thin the herd getting better and quicker. >> but what gives them the right to thin the herd? >> they are the party and they fight for their spot on the ballot. >> when you think about running and want to be a candidate, you try your best to get the blessings of people who have some equity already with the voters. >> that is an inside fix. >> no it isn't. you really do have to either be unusual in terms of celebrity status you have to be new some to start out in the primary he was in california. >> these a

so we asked the former san francisco mayor, willie brown, what changed since he was in office and what >> mayor brown, once again, the entire issue of homelessness, street behavior, safety is reemerging in san francisco as one of the top concerns. this was a concern when you were the mayor, what has changed, and what can chan? >> it was not as bad when i was the mayor. the reaction at that time, we were still speaking like we are humanistic, not as aggressive as we need to be now. because we didn't have the same kinds of volume and we didn't have the intensity and we didn't have the drug dealing, obviously mayor breed and people running city hall have got to come up with a new model on how to address the issue. >> also back when you were mayor, there were large parts of like south of market that weren't fully developed and where folks could be if they were into that sort of thing and they weren't as visible. now literally it seems like every inch of the city has been developed, everyone is sort of out of the shadows and in front. >> it's not just that they are out of the shadows and in

. >> reporter: former san francisco mayor willie brown has known the mural since his daughter was a studentne complaint about it from african americans is that it shows slaves simply being subservient, simply sitting there under the white man's rule. >> but that's the way america was. but it was clearly put on display so we would all be for sure instructionateely disgusted with america and its late practices. >> reporter: russian born painter victor argonoff painted it in the 1930s. peter is his grandson. was your grandfather subversive in a way in what he put into these paintings? >> yes, he was. he was. he was trying to go against the grain of the common narrative of history that was being probably portrayed in the schools at that time. >> reporter: for those who want the mural gone, however, his work doesn't fit with today reality. >> it's a new day. and people no longer want to tolerate all the vestiges. >> reporter: after complaints in the 1960, the school board added another mural celebrating america's multi-ethnic heritage. it was pointed by artist dewey crumpler who opposes thechool
