Looking down at San Francisco, a noticeable blanket of cloud cover and fog for just a couple of patches of the bay definitely not as widespread of cloud cover as we saw yesterday but there are a few areas out there that are certainly looking at a bit of a cloudy impact this morning, lets look at satellite and radar we are dry unclear right now, but if you zoom out across the region you notice that cloudy bank up to our north that is the sign of showers just around the corner. That will likely arrive into tomorrow afternoon for the bay area, some light rainfall for most areas but starting the weekend off tomorrow with a few returning showers as for visibility said just fine if you look really closely you can see those patches of fog sitting right south of the word, San Francisco, right there thats the cloud cover that you saw in the view i just showed you a second ago looking down from sausalito at San Francisco. You can notice also temperatures a little chillier this morning than what
Exemplified the activist businessman that often stood at the center of the freedom struggle. A figure that is really frequently under analyzed and continues to be under analyzed i would add. He was often overlooked due to an emphasis on the more incendiary elements of the movement. Protests, mobilizations and other dramatic events. I should add that im on this panel because i in a previous life, i studied North Carolina civil rights history. And so, again, i can speak to the ways in which brandons book is making a really significant intervention here in the history, not only in the civil rights period and the writ at large, but also the Civil Rights Movement and struggle and the black struggle in North Carolina and particular. From winners perch at mechanics and farmers bank in durham, he occupied a critical space.

60s. This event was part of the association of the study for africanAmerican Life and conference, and they provided the video. So glad to be here, and so very excited to chop it up a little bit about brother winfords excellent book. Let me jump into my comments. It chronicles the life of the civil rights period. This is a trench at work in this work he replaces wheeler in the center of a compelling civil rights narrative there by casting a new light on the role this banker played in the middle of the century. I can speak to the way his book is making history, and also the Civil Rights Movement, the black peoples struggle in North Carolina in particular. So from wheelers bank in d durham, he was a insider and power player that understood the calculous of social change dictated approaches to the pursuit of freedom. This is going to be one of the questions i certainly want to knock around with dr. Winford in terms of the dynamic enter play that we see with wheeler and the ways in which he

Department representative said, theres no data on whether it increases the proportion of the people showing up for court. Nor apparently the data about whether it prevents people from committing more crimes before their court date. My heartbreaks for the woman who spoke earlier, but the way to decrease the Domestic Violence is better education, more funding for shelters and Restorative Justice programs, not electronic monitoring. And i cannot believe that youre thinking about extending sentinels contract. If you knew that a plumber had three lawsuits against them, would you hire them . Come on, folks. Please, do the right thing here. Clerk thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Caller hi, good afternoon, supervisors.
