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 ....
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.

We will talk about that over six events and through the lens of various topics revising early america.

Legislative report. That report was released today and im requesting a hearing on the report so we can better understand the citys use of these conservatorships. Contributed to a decrease in the total l. D. S. Conservative caseload. Interestingly, that caseload has increased somewhat over the last year. Now one of the perhaps surprising things i learned from this report is San Francisco is conserving gravely disabled people at an alarming average and is ranked ninth among counties in its per capita rate. So whats going on . Are there fewer people in need of conservatorships in San Francisco county or are we failing to meet the needs of residents that cannot take care of themselves . Part of the explanation of that decline is the loss of the last decade of appropriate placements of people suffering from serious mental illnesses. Plainly, theres more work to do, and the report an ....
