The development of San Francisco International Airport serves as a lens through which Eric Porter examines broader themes of urban history, social justice, and cultural identity. He highlights the roles of various stakeholders, including Black activists and local policymakers, in shaping the airport's significance. This study connects SFO to issues of migration, labor struggles, and environmental transformation, revealing its impact on the Bay Area and beyond. By positioning the airport as a vital site of historical and contemporary struggles, Porter challenges conventional perceptions of airports as mere transit points.
