It was six years ago today that we officially broke ground in the east parking lot of the Ashby BART Station. And we have the photo to prove it — Throw Back Thursday! The image below shows Kaia Burkett, who was at BORP at the time, CforAT’s Dmitri Belser, TLG’s Megan Kirshbaum, DREDF’s Susan Henderson, Kathi Martinez who was with WID, Ed Roberts’ mom, Zona Roberts, CTP’s Joan Breves, and of course, Jan Garrett who was with CIL. All of them holding shovels in front of an image of the future ERC.
KQED interviewed Dmitri Belser and Susan Henderson at The Ed Roberts Campus on the occasion of Ed Roberts Day.
