It will surprise no one that San Franciscans took to the streets in the wake of the murder of Heather Hyder in Charlottesville. These two women were part of a small Mission crowd in mid-afternoon.
Sunday evening a crowd of several hundred gathered in the fog outside City Hall to share sadness and fury.
This was not your heavily pre-orchestrated demonstration.
For some, there was fury, tinged with fear.
For others, this was probably the continuation of the work of a life time.
It was good to see so many people I did not know, even by sight. After all, I've been to too damn many protests.
Like the city itself, the crowd was predominantly white or of various Asian-origins. But this woman stood by, determined to announce her necessity.
