My mom's complicated feelings about San Francisco are also about just how much happened here on this very block when she was a kid. She was the second youngest of five siblings born to a single mom. Her family existed on this long political spectrum from black business owners and politicians to members of the Black Panther Party. The FBI thought my Aunt Demira looked a bit like Kathleen Cleaver, so agents would spend long hours parked outside her childhood home. All of my mom's siblings would eventually become visitors at the Nation of Islam Moss 26 mosque.
