I had a problem with the blog I posted on April 4, so I'm trying again with my great tech-help Farah at my side.
It was 50 years ago April 4 that Martin Luther King was assassinated, a fact that Leslie Simon brought to our attention that morning, when Supervisor Norman Yee called a press conference to announce the renaming of Phelan Avenue to Friday
Kahlo Way. (More on that later) She reminded us of the Bufano statue standing
between us and the Science Hall, made from guns that people turned in at SF
City Hall after the assassinations of both MLK and Robert Kennedy in 1968, five
years after the assassination of President John Kennedy. Those guns are said to
have been used to create this sculpture.
