DESCRIPTION:Join this FREE walking tour that tells 200 years of San Francisco history 
 through the words of Martin Luther King, jr. and the insight of Frederick 
 Jackson Turner with his 1893 "Frontier Thesis."\n\nMLK asked, "Who owns the 
 oil, who owns the iron ore, who owns the water, who owns the land under the 
 cities of America?"\n\nThe Frontier Thesis wondered what would happen to 
 the psyche of White America when there was no longer a frontier upon which 
 to escape to.\n\nThe Gold Rush was only possible because California didn't 
 yet have a land office. The arrival of title to land in California in 1852 
 transformed the economy from self-employed opportunists to employees 
 looking for work on the land that already belonged to others.\n\nThis tour 
 surveys the migration to San Francisco by the Irish, the Jews of Europe, 
 and every color of human being as nothing less than the pursuit of the 
 frontier, spoiled by the land owner at the Strait of Hormuz, er . . . the 
 rental office.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2026/04/09/18885481.php
