Teller of our lives and the lives of the people weve lost. And that wasnt always the case, as willie mentioned. But because of the likes of george and harvey and so many others, all the way to our mayor ed lee, all of us have voice. All of us can tell the story. So, lets crowd source this thing. Lets tell the real stories of george and harvey.
