Though it has long been celebrated among the African American community, it is a history that has been marginalized & was largely unknown to the wider public. The legacy of #Juneteenth shows the value of deep hope & urgent organizing in uncertain times. s.si.edu/2U1L4XW
#OTD in 1865, enslaved African Americans were notified of their freedom by Union troops in Galveston Bay, TX—two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. Known as #Juneteenth, this day is widely celebrated as the end of chattel slavery in the U.S. #APeoplesJourney
SF Then & Now. Several folks expressed sadness that the #1 California is no longer a streetcar around Lands End. Gets sadder. Both the #1 and #2 used to terminate in this great streetcar depot, now just a vacant lot next to Louis'. (The depot burned in 1949.)
We are continuing to celebrate the #GreatOutdoorsMonth - one of our collection's strengths is our thousands of travel books, dating from the 1500s-1900s. This book is an account of travels around South America, 1806. #archives #travelnarratives #specialcollections #libraries
It's the #GreatOutdoorsMonth and to celebrate we found these gorgeous Art Deco images from the 1920s - highly stylized and streamlined. #artdeco #libraries #specialcollections #archives #hiking
When no one was watching—or seemingly caring—the efforts of LGBTQ+ San Franciscans made sure the American people and their government could no longer turn their backs on AIDS. bit.ly/PrideAsProtest…
#OTD in 1955, Barbara Graham became the third woman to be executed in California. The Oakland native — nicknamed “Bloody Babs” — had been convicted of a murder related to a botched robbery in Southern California. Below, Graham arrives at San Quentin’s gas chamber. (1/2)
"How did Chinese people in early California see themselves at a time when mainstream culture openly maligned them? Studio portraits provide a proximate if imperfect record of how they might have wished to be represented."
Typically showing ordinary men staring directly into the lens or women looking slightly off-camera, CHS's portraits of Chinese sitters at San Francisco photography galleries taken between the 1860s and the 1890s are fascinating. Read on: calhist.me/3wAi4oi #AAPIHeritageMonth
