In this special edition which focuses for the first time on Bob Ostertag's home city of San Francisco, we meet Myrna Melgar, the first Latina EVER elected to San Francisco's Board of Supervisors without first being appointed to the seat. Myrna's family fled El Salvador where her family had been torn apart by civil war, the same war on which Bob spent much of the 1980s working as an activist and journalist.
