Ellen Murray moved to San Francisco in 1967, the year Joan Didion hung around the Haight and lampooned its apolitical hippies in Slouching Towards Bethlehem.But Murray, then 22, didn't come all the way from Massachusetts to drop acid or trail after the Grateful Dead.Instead, she fought gentrification in the Mission, participated in a strike against institutional racism at San Francisco State, and eventually became a bus driver for Muni - a career choice informed by her radical politics.
