The San Francisco Public Library will be closed today in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday, but join us tomorrow for the first of a five-part series of lectures on San Francisco Black Heritage by local historian John William Templeton. Each lecture will focus on a different period in San Francisco history, with Tuesday's presentation focusing on the years 1770-1849. Subsequent lectures will be held at different locations throughout San Francisco. For more information check out the flier on the San Francisco Public Library African American Center's blog Habari Gani.
