Black Pioneers in San Francisco’s Early Days, with author and educator Crawford Killian

This online presentation in honor of Black History Month features Crawford Killian, author of Go Do Some Great Thing (Harbor Publishing, 2021). Killian chronicles the story of Mifflin Gibbs and other prominent Black pioneers who left San Francisco in search of a more just society.
