Lots of reaction from the public. The mayor also has a lot to say. Lots of Power Washing happening in Golden Gate Park. Workers removing graffiti from pedestals that once held statues. [ [ cheers and applause ] friday night a group of several hundred people tore down the statue of Francis Scott key, who wrote the National Anthem and was a known slaveholder.

Dear mark, i was deeply touched by the honour you and the commission granted to me with the placement of the plaque in my honor at the tennis courts. It was a complete surprise. As you know, politicians usually get a leak about some pending event involving them. But not this one. I wanted to show off the plaque to my 4yearold grandson, daniel, and he is just learning to spell his name, and recognized agnus. Thank you for making me look good with my grandson.
