Harlem of the West, Then and Now

Produced by Citizen Film and the Society, a look back at the jazz era, the players and their lives in San Francisco, and the lasting impacts of those days on the Fillmore and San Francisco. More importantly, it depicts the historic context in which African Americans and other marginalized residents, their businesses, and related activities were removed from the Fillmore district due to “redevelopment.” VIEW

African Americans and the Vote, a documentary film featuring Mayor Willie L. Brown, Jr., Judge John Dearman, and De’Anthony Jones, was “on time” for the November 2019 election; and it remains of import. The life stories of those featured in the video speak to the importance of voting. That election demonstrated that the African American vote can make a difference! The film documents their childhoods, family backgrounds, and opportunities that shaped their lives as African Americans involved in the political and public arena.

This is the second Black History Month documentary produced by the Society in conjunction with Citizen Film. The film was honored at the Bernal Heights Outdoor Film Festival in 2019.
