Historic Photos of the Fillmore District | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

David Johnson, a native of Jacksonville, Fla., was the first African American student of Ansel Adams. In Adams’ school, he was advised to photograph his own neighborhood and document the faces and places with which he was most familiar. He subsequently became an important chronicler of black life in San Francisco in the middle part of the 20th century.

Please join the Harvey Milk Photo Center in celebrating David Johnson’s many accomplishments on Saturday, September 6 from 1 – 4pm. The artist will be at the gallery to answer questions about his work. Light refreshments will be provided.
