About this event

CELEBRATING YOU!   KNOW YOUR PAST TO UNDERSTAND YOUR FUTURE!

SANKOFA DAYS @ The BAY is the annual Black History Month program for the Aquarium of the Bay at Pier 39, San Francisco. Bay Area youth and families are invited to a program designed exclusively for you! Celebrating Families and contributions by Environmental Champions of the African Diaspora

Activity - VIRTUAL AQUARIUM TOUR

• Includes live, interactive, virtual tour through Zoom that brings the diversity of Northern California marine and terrestrial life right to you-from anywhere with cell service or WiFi.

• The virtual Aquarium of the Bay experience is 30 minutes long and led by one of our wildlife experts to answer as many questions as you want! Learn more about climate change, environmental justice. sustainability, and ecological restoration. Submit your questions ahead of the Zoom session to sankofadays@bay.org.

• This experience offers an inspired lens to nature, and a glimpse into 70% of our planet that most never have the opportunity to see and supports our mission of enabling climate resilience and ocean conservation through education!

• Special attention is paid to understanding your role as an EcoAmbassador – prior to attending we’re giving you a little homework and ask that you view “All The Way To The Ocean”, a 15 minute video adaptation of the award winning book by author and musician, Joel Harper. It is an uplifting story about two best friends and their discovery of the cause and effect relationship between our cities’ storm drains and the world’s oceans, lakes, and rivers. Click here to view the video.

You may register here for FREE attendance generously provided by NorcalMLK Foundation and San Francisco Chapter of The Links Inc.

The celebration goes well beyond the virtual aquarium tour. You are invited to visit https://aquariumofthebay.org/sankofa-days for more culturally relevant virtual on-demand learning and activities:

- Know Your Past To Understand Your Future

- Colors of Kente in the Wilds of California (Kente Weaving Activity)

- West African Wisdom: Adinkra Symbols and Meanings

- Principles of Environmental Justice

- Sankofa Griot Circle - Reading List

- Black Environmental Champions

SANKOFA DAYS @ The BAY will explore environmental justice, the environmental movement, and will celebrate notable African American heroes and leaders in the environmental space. Aquarium of the Bay is partnering with the Northern California Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Foundation (NorcalMLK Foundation) and the San Francisco Chapter of Links, Inc., to ensure that the events are engaging, educational, inclusive, and celebratory of the richness of the African Diaspora.

Aquarium of the Bay, located at Pier 39 in San Francisco, is the perfect location to celebrate Black History Month and its history and relevance in the environmental movement. And the Sankofa symbol and meaning is likewise apropos: “Know your past to understand your future.” The protection and sustainability of our environment is critical, and we can learn from past challenges to help forge a better and stronger environment for tomorrow.
