An experience that brings San Francisco African American history to
your fingertips! Join us in a close-up show-and-tell with San
Francisco history through original manuscripts, newspapers, and
photographs which document San Francisco's African American population
and contributions. Collections on view will include 19th century

knowledgeable archivists, who will guide the tour of documents with
anecdotes and San Francisco trivia while guests hold San Francisco’s
treasured documents. Photography is welcomed and encouraged during the
