City Agency Hearings – Mural Edition!

The SF Board of Supervisors is on break until September 2, but the Historic Preservation Commission is jumping into the fray over the mural at Washington High School by starting landmark designation for the school. If you’ve missed the battle over the mural there, you’ve missed an interesting conversation about race and censorship.
