In Presidio Dialogues, notable authors, artists, and conversation starters explore themes from ancient history to current events through interactive dialogues, stimulating talks, panels, performances, and films.
National Park Service Ranger Frederik Penn presents a landmark civil rights case of 1897, in which an African American waiter sued one of San Francisco’s richest, most powerful men over racial discrimination – and won. The story was carried in all the major newspapers of the Bay Area and beyond, but was lost during the 1906 earthquake and fire. The legal results of the trial were a precursor to the National Civil Rights Bill of 1964, yet this story is little known even in today's legal circles. And it took place on what is now National Park Lands.
