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.

If things don’t change soon, Angry Ham’s Garage in Framingham, Massachusetts will become just another statistic. Eighteen months ago, Tim Hanna entered into a partnership with friends Richie Olsen and former professional hockey player Lyndon “L.B.” Byers to open Angry Ham’s Garage. But L.B. and Richie’s troubles with the law prevented the trio from obtaining a liquor license. 01:00:26 SELECTMAN I’m not quite sure in my mind that he has demonstrated to me the character required for a license. LYNDON “L.B.” A guy with a DUI that wants to open a bar. Yeah, BYERS red flag, but I admit I made a mistake, and I paid for it.

TIM HANNA They do work for me, or they work for Angry Ham’s, but they’re just no longer allowed to be owners. 01:00:54 VO But their 10-month battle with the city left them with a bad reputation around town.
