7 and a half million renovation is part of the clean and safe Neighbors Park Fund which was on the ballot four years ago and look at how that Public Investment has transformed our neighborhood.

Sometimes as we do this work, i would say africanamerican afri s and peopblack ipeople in San Francisco felt like we were continuing to forget about them and continuing to repeat bwhy Te Commission was created in the first place. So as we secelebrate the 55th anniversary of the Human Rights Commission, as we remember the 5 55th anniversary of the civil rights act, i was challenged and really encouraged to revisit why the Human Rights Commission was created and to pause during this time. Somebody says, who selcelebrats5 years . I guess we do. [ applause ].
