A Social Movement Tour of San Francisco
Event Information
About this event
With a rich history of social movements, San Francisco is a city to be explored beyond its many neighborhoods. Our San Francisco Social Movements Walking Tour navigates through past and current social movements originating in or now profoundly a part of San Francisco. Participants will visit some key locations in the city's downtown neighborhoods where the narrative connects the universal pursuit of personal and group identity dignity with economic concerns, especially land access.
About our tour guide:
David Giesen is a middle school English and social studies teacher, and an amateur historian and social issues fiction writer living in San Francisco. He has been leading tours as an HI USA volunteer since 1998.
