Event Details

Local historian Kevin Ashley will give a presentation, with historic photos, of Coronado's little-known Black history. This program is happening concurrently with an exhibit in the Library of books that relate to the lives of Coronado's pioneering Black residents from 1887-1921. 

Ashley's presentation focuses on his Coronado Black History Project, which documents the lives and experiences of Coronado's African American community from 1886 to the present. For more information about the project: https://kevinashley.substack.com
