Mission and programs · 2024

• BLACK HISTORY MONTH - WHEN THE SOCIETY WAS FOUNDED IN 1955 IT WAS THE LOCAL CHAPTER OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF AFRICAN AMERICAN LIFE AND HISTORY (ASALH), THE CREATOR AND NATIONAL SPONSOR OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH. AS SUCH, ANNUALLY DURING THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY, THE SOCIETY PRESENTS A VARIETY OF EDUCATIONAL EXHIBITS, PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES BASED UPON THE THEME ESTABLISHED BY ASALH. EACH YEAR THE SOCIETY LAUNCHES BLACK HISTORY MONTH IN SAN FRANCISCO WITH A KICKOFF PROGRAM IN CITY HALL AT 12:00 PM ON THE FIRST FRIDAY OF FEBRUARY.

  Expenses $2,144

• HISTORICAL EXHIBITS - THE SOCIETY CURATES AND PRESENTS 2 TO 4 EXHIBITS EACH YEAR IN OUR LIBRARY/GALLERY. WHEN FEASIBLE, POP-UP VERSIONS OF EXHIBITS ARE THEN PRESENTED AT LOCAL PUBLIC SCHOOLS UNDER THE AUSPICES OF TEACHERS AND/OR LIBRARIANS. THE THEME FOR OUR EXHIBITS IS BASED ON THE NATIONAL THEME FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH AND OTHER TOPICS THAT ARE PARTICULARLY RELEVANT. THE OBJECTIVE IS ALWAYS TO EDUCATE THE STUDENTS ABOUT AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY AND CULTURE, CURRENT EVENTS, AND ART.

  Expenses $6,352

• OTHER PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS INCLUDE: THE SOCIETY'S "GENEALOGY RESOURCES FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS" IS A HANDS-ON LEARNING EXPERIENCE, WHERE THE FACILITATORS SHARE THEIR ANNOTATED LIST OF ONLINE AND OTHER RESOURCES FOUND TO BE USEFUL FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS CONDUCTING GENEALOGY. PARTICIPANTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO OFFER THEIR EXPERIENCES AND PREFERRED RESOURCES, WHICH ARE OFTEN ADDED TO THE ANNOTATED LIST. FINALLY AT EACH WORKSHOP, FACILITATORS ASSIST PARTICIPANTS WITH HANDS-ON SEARCHES FOR THEIR ANCESTORS. THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEGACY BOOK CLUB, CO-SPONSORED WITH THE AFRICAN AMERICAN CENTER OF THE SF PUBLIC LIBRARY, BRINGS TOGETHER PEOPLE WHO ENJOY READING, ANALYZING AND DISCUSSING BOOKS PRIMARILY REGARDING AFRICAN AMERICAN LIVES, WHETHER THE SUBJECT IS GENEALOGY, FAMILY HISTORY, HISTORY, COMING OF AGE, OR OTHER SITUATIONAL TOPICS. BOOKS ARE SELECTED FROM SUGGESTIONS MADE BY THE SFPL LIBRARIAN AND OFTEN PARTICIPANTS' SUGGESTIONS. ALL BOOKS HAVE BEEN MADE AVAILABLE FREE TO PARTICIPANTS OR ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SFPL LENDING SYSTEM.
