Through education, entertainment, and art, The Marin City Historical and Preservation Society chronicles the Black experience in California over the past 80 years.Located 5 miles north of San Francisco from the Golden Gate Bridge, Marin City was built in 1942 and became home to thousands of Black Americans working at Marinship, Sausalito's waterfront shipyard, during World War 2.
"It's a California Black history story," said Felecia Gaston, the executive director of Performing Stars of Marin. "This project traces how people came from the South, how they lived, to highlight the tenacity and the determination of the Blacks here in Marin City over 80 years." One of the exhibits traces the Black American journey to Marin City, California from the South and Midwest. Visitors can see various luggage items and one-way tickets from the travelers in 1942.
