we have the willie brown memorial -- mayor willie brown memorial family room.e 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 cam

that must be on his mind. >> willie brown does these things all the time. he said for a while that he thought jerry brown might jump into the race for president or nancy pelosi should be the next president. it seems like the latest in trial balloons he likes to float out there. >> i think that enlarging the field at this point is taking that trend in the wrong direction. >> we could still see an independent person or a self- funded person like mark cuban for example. it is hard to know who could enter the race and do damage to president trump who would not also do damage to the democrat as well. who could get in to get those votes. it actually could maybe hurt both parties. >>> many of the bay area's finest chefs are serving up their best to draw attention to the stark rise and homelessness among asian americans. at the project by project tenth annual tasting benefit and san francisco, nearly 40 restaurants, bartenders and vendors dished out creations. mayor london breed was there to rally for the cause. the event seeks to shed light on how homelessness amo

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

phil matier and i asked san francisco ex-mayor willie brown about the visit. >> typical trump. without any credibility whatsoever. he looks around to find something popular to discuss and particularly if it is under democratic jurisdiction and he proceeds to exploit it and that is what he did. >> quick question. is what he said true or not true? >> and not true. >> there is this focus on the sewer system and technically it is not true and technically the epa probably won't be issuing a citation. the reason it rang out is because there is a little truth to the fact that we do have too many needles in the city. they are very easily accessible. they are all over the place. >> no question. in an urban environment like san francisco where everybody loves to live and the weather is so good and people are so generous. >> and there is open drug use on the streets and we have the homeless population. >> we have permission to give people needles. and we don't exchange. we just let you have the needle because we want to reduce the potential for all the diseases you can be exposed to by us

we were told 300,000 cuts from the middle school, 600 cut from willie brown. we were told the information we were getting came from conversations with commissioner cook and hahn and names were dropped where this information was coming from. i find it very hard to believe this wasn't at least a conversation or work in progress so i did notice some carefully chosen language from doctor matthews saying nothing came from your office. i didn't hear no cuts are happening. i think that was word play there. it seems unlikely to me we would be told this information if there were no cuts happening. maybe there is confusion. something is going on. i attended sfusd for better or worse. in the early 1990s, this is different. what i experienced is adults were making decisions and it was impacting the students with us having no idea what was really going on. that is similar to what i am feeling now. i chose not to talk to my students about the situation because i felt confused about it, but the whole school is upset. it is a problem. something is happening. we are told that

brown and alexander. these are civil war embalmers, . the reason that they hired them, they were the ones that had embalmed willie lincoln. this came out of a guy named thomas holmes. he made a fortune embalming soldiers in the civil war. he came up with his new miracle. basedad used zinc embalming fluids, and holmes came up with a miracle embalming fluid which contained arsenic. where it became a problem was later on when you would bury people and occasionally the arsenic would leach out of the bodies and contaminate the area. ok. the funeral service is april 19 in the east room. dr. leale was part of the honor guard at the head of the president's coffin during the service. this is the last known photo of lincoln in his casket. that is when he is on view in new york. some of you may know the story how this was discovered. in 1951, a young man from iowa was working, doing an internship basically for harry pratt, who was the state historian for illinois. he wa was in springfield and going through lincoln papers and he found this photograph. stanton had confiscated and ordered all photos of the president to be confiscated.
