LONDON BREED BECOMES SAN FRANCISCO'S FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN FEMALE MAYOR

Feeling Rebloggy


London Breed made history Wednesday as the first African-American woman to be elected mayor in San Francisco, the city where she grew up. 
Ballots were still being counted for more than a week after election day, but her opponent, former state Sen. Mark Leno, conceded the contest. 
Breed served as Board of Supervisors president for the city. She emphasized her humble beginnings during the campaign. Her grandmother raised her on a shoestring budget in public housing. In a victory speech on the steps of city hall, Breed challenged her supporters to strive for success.
