Community History and Social Change in South Berkeley

In 2005 I worked with Dona Graves, a public artist and historian, on her research project Community + History: Francis Albrier and Social Change in South Berkeley. The project celebrated the contributions of Francis Albrier, the granddaughter of a former slave who moved to Berkeley in 1920 and, for over sixty years, was a civil rights activist. Dona created an interpretive plaque for the Berkeley Public Art program, and organized a community celebration and memory gathering event. Additionally, Dona and I cowrote and taught curriculum about social change and neighborhood history to middle school students at Longfellow School.
