DESCRIPTION:Come along on a free walking tour surveying SF social movement history, led 
 by a middle and high school history teacher. We'll tackle housing, race, 
 and wage issues through the lenses of dominance-resistant groups such as 
 the Black Panthers, the Diggers, the Mormons (!), the American Indian 
 Movement, and many others. \n\nSeptember 2 was the birthday of San 
 Francisco's boldest social thinker to date, Henry George, who argued for 
 socializing all land values so that no one would have to pay any private 
 party for use of the Earth. In short, the ultimate psychic and economic 
 "belonging" public policy. \n\nIn that mind we add a timely poem below. 
 \n\nIn the heat o’ the sun in San Francisco, on a neighborhood village 
 street, after the first day teaching US History \n\n\nOn a day like this 
 the Samoyed and mixed Husky crave shade, \nCertainly water, and even, 
 perhaps, a popsicle; \nOn a day like today all the men, including St. 
 Kevin’s priest, wish they’d worn shorts; \nOn a day like today the 
 toddler speaks her first word, “Hat”—in an urgent tone; \nOn a day 
 like this, you knew the moon must come up full; \nOn a day like this only 
 the plants stay put with heads uncovered. \n\n\nAnd just like that, driven 
 by the sun, \nThomas Jefferson, in 1785 full of the future, wrote Madison 
 \n—as though Paine coursed his venous system—, \n“The earth is given 
 as a common stock for man to labor and live on,” \nThen found shade in 
 the cool for 41 years a scoundrel slaver. \n\nOn a day like this, 
 unpleasant, blinding, reminiscent of Confederate lands in near swelter, 
 \nSan Francisco steels itself, bound for cool shade or, might it be, a 
 world turned upside down. \n\n
