Black Pioneers in San Francisco’s Early Days, with author and educator Crawford Killian

[@jeanettesdaughter]

Americas most gorgeous city. Too bad it’s just a place for the rich and the homeless now. Family life gone. Not when I grew up there. No more Black cultural presence because the people have been pushed out and all of us were NOT poor on public assistance. We moved to the suburbs or out of state. Not our loss but the city of SF lost gems when we left. And stop calling us blacks, we are Black people or African Americans. Thank you.

We are Foundational Black Americans, indigenous Black Americans or federal status of Freedmen. Non foundational Black or mixed race/bi racial not of American heritage are foreigners, immigrants. I am one of the Arizona Freedman currently living in Oregon and lived in Texas (Austin and San Antonio). I loved the Alamo. Can't wait to finish touring the rest of our country. We were here in the old west on the frontier prior to the westward expansion of U.S. slavery.

I am NOT AFRICAN or African American, the AA term is fabricated, fake and we look nothing like that crap. I am a whole native woman. Period

My hair is all natural and long down to the middle of my back in length.

AA is a fabricated term. I look nothing like that crap. I am a whole native woman!
