SF Musicians’ Union History: Integrating the Locals & the Fight Against Segregation
SEE EVENT DETAILS
LaborFest, San Francisco's annual month of grassroots labor programs, returns to the Tenderloin Museum for a look at the Musician's Union history, in particular its fight against segregation and the historic integration of the Local 6 with the Black "subsidiary" Local 669 in 1960. Organized by LaborFest's Steve Zeltzer and musician Jimmy Kelly, this public program is anchored by a rare documentary made by Zeltzer for the Labor Video Project in 2010, commemorating the 50 year anniversary of the merger of the Local 6 & Black Local 669. A panel discussion/presentation will follow, surveying other accounts and recent scholarship about this critical overture in the Musician's Union's history. All this, plus live music, because there must always be a song when musicians gather!
Register to attend via Humanitix with a $10 suggested donation (equivalent to museum admission). NOTAFLOF/No One Turned Away for Lack of Funds: email [email protected].
