What happened to San Francisco's black population? On the next Your Call we talk with the organizers of a conference on the "State of Black San Francisco." Africans Americans were 13.5% of the population in 1970 but only half that now -- the biggest percentage decline in any major American city. With the passage of Proposition G, the last truly black neighborhood in the city, Bayview-Hunters Point, is about to undergo a multi-year, multi billion dollar make over. How many African Americans will call San Francisco home when it's done? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
