The business is located on Third Street between Galvez and Hudson avenues in the Bayview neighborhood. The building is designated as San Francisco Landmark #263 for its association with the live and work of Sam Jordan. Through Jordan’s advocacy and leadership, the bar was used to support the educational, economic, political, and cultural vitality of the Bayview’s African American community by hosting scholarship fundraisers, hosting African American businessmen’s luncheons, political brainstorming sessions, and the Black Panther Breakfast Program that provided hot meals to school children. Cultural events at the bar highlighted local musicians as well as famous musical performers including Ike and Tina Turner, Sugar Pie DeSanto, and Bobby Freeman. Jordan was the first African American to run for San Francisco Mayor and although he did not win, he made significant contributions to the local African American civil rights movement and left a lasting impact on his community.

In 1955, he received his B.A. degree in political science from San Francisco State University, followed by a J.D. degree in 1958 from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco.

    Oral History Center University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California Hadley Roff Hadley Roff: A Life in Politics, Government and Public Service Interviews conducted by Lisa Rubens in 2012 and 2013 Copyright © 2017 by The Regents of the University of California Oral History Center, The Bancroft Library, University of California Berkeley ii Since 1954 the Oral History Center of the Bancroft Library, formerly the Regional Oral History Office, has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Hadley Roff dated June 21, 2013. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.

  • 1 a History of the International Hotel Citizens Advisory Committee
    A History of the International Hotel Citizens Advisory Committee/ Kearny Street Housing Corporation 1979 - 2006 (The following document was reviewed and accepted by the International Hotel Citizens Advisory Committee on May 17, 2008 as a record of the work of the Committee. The Committee’s efforts resulted in the building of the International Hotel Senior Housing, Inc. project on the site of the former International Hotel decades after the eviction of the I-Hotel tenants. This record is based on the memories of the Committee members and the documents that can be found in the University of California, Berkeley Ethnic Studies Library – International Hotel Collection #AAS ARC 2000/49 of the Asian American Archival Collection ) The long, painful and very public struggle culminating in the eviction of the I-Hotel tenants in 1977 created a lasting political climate of support in San Francisco for the rebuilding of low income housing on the former site of the International Hotel. In September 1979, San Francisco Board of Supervisors Resolution 925-79 introduced by Supervisor John Molinari created the I-Hotel Block Development Advisory Committee broadly representative of the Chinatown and Manilatown communities including tenants who had been displaced by the eviction. The Committee was charged with overseeing a development plan for the I-Hotel block. From its establishment in 1979 to the opening of the new International Hotel Senior Housing Project in 2005, the I-Hotel Block Development Advisory Committee and its successor the I-Hotel Citizens Advisory Committee participated in literally hundreds of meetings involving many thousands of person hours attempting to find a means to reconstruct the I-Hotel.
