## Caption

On Frida Kahlo‘s birthday, a reminder of when SF renamed a street after the iconic artist in 2018, removing the namesake of former anti-immigrant mayor James Phelan, who supported the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.⁣⁣⁣

At the time Chancellor of City College of San Francisco Mark Rocha said the renaming of the street "... is not so much about the past, but about the future. About the community empowering itself to cast a beacon to the future about who we are of the San Francisco of today, which is a great city of immigrants." #streetsofsanfrancisco #fridakahloart #diegorivera #sfmurals
