The city lost a great leader July 29: Glen Park’s very own Janice Mirikitani, co-founder of Glide Memorial Church and the city’s poet laureate from 2000 to 2002.
Mirikatani and her husband the Rev. Cecil Williams built Glide Memorial Church into the soul of San Francisco. There’s a wonderful tribute video here, and you can see her obituary in The San Francisco Chronicle here.
