Dreams from My Real Father: A Story of Reds and Deception is a 2012 American film by Joel Gilbert. It presents his conspiracy theory that U.S. President Barack Obama's biological father was Frank Marshall Davis, an American poet and labor activist in Chicago and Hawaii, rather than the Kenyan Barack Obama Sr. The film claims that Davis influenced the young Obama's ideology, a claim disputed by Obama biographer David Remnick. The title is derived from Obama's memoir about his early life, Dreams from My Father (1995). Reviews of the film were generally negative, noting that Gilbert had not proved any of his allegations, and the film was described as a "pseudo-documentary" and in "bad taste".

African Americans in San Francisco, California, comprised less than 6% of the city's total population in the 2010 census, down from 13.4% in 1970. Among the United States' biggest 14 cities, San Francisco is near the bottom in the percentage of black residents. The neighboring city of Oakland, across the San Francisco Bay has been more traditionally associated with African-American culture than San Francisco proper, although blacks have always been a minority in Oakland as well. In the mid 20th century, the African American community in the Fillmore District earned the neighborhood the nickname the "Harlem of the West". About 9 percent of the San Francisco Police Department force was African-American in 2015.
