There were members of the African American community that inspired us to dream and to serve, and Cecil Williams was at the top of that list. Cecil mentored generations of San Francisco leaders, many of us emerging from the most difficult circumstances. As a young girl, i would have never dreamed id grow up to work with him. We all benefited from his guidance, his support, and his moral compass. We would not be who we are as a city and a people without the legendary Cecil Williams, a loss felt not only here in the bay area, but around the world. Glide leaders say that his family is on their way to San Francisco if theyre not already here. Julie. Mike. Yeah. His kindness, his love, truly bringing everyone together, always opening that door at glide for everyone out there on the streets to come in. True, san franciscan lost today. Crystal thank you. Thanks, crystal. Well, we have spoken with Cecil Williams many times over the years in our coverage of glide events. Ktvu Jana Katsuyama spok
Say the four overpowered and assaulted at least one guard stealing keys and a personal car. That car seen sideswiping a jeep and then abandoned. Three of the four were arrested yesterday morning in bridgeton. That is huggins home town. And they did not say if the ambush and escape took place in the secure area or how the four managed to beat security measures there. They say that issue is being investigated. Im not prepared to criticize the operation at harbor fields detention facility. We are still trying to gather all the information and trying to gather the facts. The question remains, how did the four breakout . The prosecutor is make that part of his investigation as well.
