and i just want to call out a few names like mary helen rogers and nature mason and a lois west brooke and espino la nina jack on and leroy king and so many trailblazers. there are so many of those people including my grandmother camellia brown who were just one generation removed from slavery and they were the hope of our ancestors as they migrated to california and i look at what we are doing here in san francisco today and asthma i can't angelou talks about the hopes and the dream of the slaves. it's about the ability for all of us to not only lead but to come together. and to work together and continue to buildup our community in way that's lifts every one, not just some of us. not just i got mine and you worry about getting yours is we got ours together. [cheers and applause] so as we celebrate our history and as tonight, we have a good time too, after dealing with the global pandemic, after dealing with so many challenges in this city, i don't know but but i'm seeing and i'm feeling the change. i'm seeing and feeling the excitement. and i am enjoying every single minute of it. so
