Years ago. It was then that Irena Webster and Barbara Spencer dunn joined with the woman who became my first boss at the aspca. They had the vision to get right to support the works the Parks Service was doing to protect the africanamerican experience. Sadly, irena passed away at the start of this year, and i wanted to take a moment to talk about the preservation of the history to achieve black Voting Rights to remember my boss, my friend, and the true pioneer in the long and ongoing process to make conservation and preservation organizations like npca more inclusive. For our panel today, people will understand that it is wideranging, multifaceted and current. Its still going on. What we want to do with this panel of experts and people who are my friends, folks that i admire, is to get their insights on this issue, but maybe in more specific and direct ways. We have one person, Josephine Bolling mccall, who actually lived through the struggle for Voting Rights. Well hear from josephine
A very complicated thing. Yes, just two quick questions. I was wondering if the panel was familiar with the work of the late dr. Reuben westin. He passed, i think, last year. He was the author of racism and u. S. Imperialism. He taught at central state. He was a chairman of the History Department at one point. We talked about how the u. S. Government squashed the revolts of antonio meseo in cuba. The second part is i had an uncle named richard kidd who fought in world war i and came back, quote, unquote, shell shocked, and he spent some time in a hospital in danville, illinois, and i dont know could you speak to how black soldiers were treated upon their return to the United States . I know going to a bad Army Hospital was not the worst thing that could happen to you, but i dont know if these hospitals were segregated or theres because having a crazy uncle somewhere in your house is a trope in fiction from that period of time. The crazy uncle probably also had a child with a french nam
People every day. Reject their new contract and create new legislation to defund thank you. Thank you, maam, for your comments. All right. We have 29 listeners and 12 speakers in the queue. Operations, lets hear from the next caller caller tonight im calling like so many of the other callers to object to the murderous, officials, and oppressive policing in this city, especially i wish we could change it. I dont exactly know the framework to have that conversation, but i know that our resources are misallocated and we have the resources to suppress a protest, but not see the future. When our food banks are begging for food and our nurses are begging for food and yet the police discussions of their vastly bloated budget to murderously oppress us are to be held behind closed doors. The discussion should be public. It should be our right as citizens to participate in is being renegotiated for three years behind closed doors . That alone is objectionable thank you for your comment. Operatio
Two years from now, so weve got a Robust Program that we need to move forward on in terms of getting that implemented, but what we need to focus on is getting new service from the east bay, new intraisland Shuttle Service and shutting service from the east bay. Were working the approvals for the transit programs and the partner program, were working with the sfmta in that regards. So that encapsulates phase one, which brings you about two years out. But thats not the completion of the program. The west side bridges program, starting next summer, well start to move into construction. Well go ahead and construct the final two toll points, and with that, comes phase two of that integration contract, and then the final go live for the system in the fall of 2024, and lets not forget about the 80 shuttle pilots because thats a shuttle pilot study that were pursuing and well be bringing you new information as we go to the next year. Lets go to the next couple of slides. The next slide is the
