Reimagining Justice: Conversation on SF African American Historical Context Statement with the SF African American Historical & Cultural Society

The Leo T. McCarthy Center for Public Service and the Common Good is excited to host USF students, community members, staff, and faculty for the second of three conversations in Reimagining Justice: Conversations for Building and Strengthening Bridges with Community — a series of intimate conversations held in front of the center's "Reimagining a Just World" mural. 

The African American Citywide Historic Context Statement (AAHCS) explores the people, places, and events that highlight how San Francisco’s African American community played a central role in the social, cultural, and political development of the City. The focus of the AAHCS is to identify important themes in the history of San Francisco’s African American community, and to provide a historic background on the development of the City and the areas where African Americans lived, worked, gathered, and celebrated. It chronicles the history of the African American community in San Francisco from the Mexican and Spanish colonial periods through the present day.  Join in a conversation with Al Williams, Director of the San Francisco African American Historical and Cultural Society to understand how this document came about, what is missing and how it is to be used.

Funded by the Jesuit Foundation and co-presented with the San Francisco African American Historical and Cultural Society, the series is designed for small group conversation, Q&A, followed by a light reception. Please RSVP. Limited seating.
