Hands-on Black San Francisco History

Welcome to Hands-on Black San Francisco History! Join us at the San Francisco History Center on the 6th floor of the San Francisco Public Library for a unique and interactive experience. Dive deep into the rich history of Black culture as our knowledgeable archivists guide you through this hands-on experience. See highlights from the newly accessioned Bernice Rodgers Papers & Photographs (the woman behind Bernice Rodgers Way in Golden Gate Park). Learn more about Mary Ellen Pleasant, GLIDE, and San Francisco's first Black History Week in the 1960s (San Francisco Unified School District records). Explore the Black Panther presence in SF, the SF Arts Commission Neighborhood Arts Program and more. Photography is welcomed and encouraged during the program.
