Board of Supervisors
Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell, 2nd District
Join the Office of Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell as we uplift and learn from Black trailblazers and the movements that have guided us through times of crisis. Together, we will look to history as a mirror—reflecting what must not be repeated—and draw wisdom from its lessons to inspire action.
The event will feature an on-site resource fair and interactive experiences, including a community mosaic and collective poetry. Let’s gather in joy, reflection, and celebration as we honor our shared history and continue building a more just and liberated future.
