Black Gold. Stories Uncovered.

"Mildred Howard's 'Untold Histories/Hidden Truths' drapes statues of Peter Burnett, William Gwin, and Francis Scott Key in striking red fabric to prompt a reckoning with the legacies of White Supremacy embedded in our public monuments... all three were slave owners who wielded their influence to uphold racial oppression..."

Just one stunning piece of a far-reaching exhibit now showing in the dramatic venue of Civil War-era Fort Point, at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge.

The Mary Ellen Pleasant piece was crazy sparkly.
