Presentation by Dr. Frank J. Omowale Satterwhite: The Nairobi Movement in East Palo Alto
Join us on Saturday, February 21, at 1 p.m. at the San Mateo County History Museum, located at 2200 Broadway in Redwood City, for an enlightening presentation by Dr. Frank J. Omowale Satterwhite. Dr. Satterwhite will discuss the Nairobi Movement, a significant political, social, and cultural renaissance that took place in East Palo Alto from 1960 to 1980.
During this transformative period, Black residents of the community rallied together to assert their rights and take action aimed at gaining control over government, education, health, and cultural institutions. This event promises to shed light on the powerful impact of grassroots activism and the enduring legacy of the Nairobi Movement.
The program is generously sponsored by the Cypress Lawn Heritage Foundation. Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your understanding of this pivotal chapter in local history!
