The Presidio Book Club selection for November 2015, Ten Years That Shook the City: San Francisco 1968-1978, an award-winning collection of first-person and historical essays spanning this tumultuous decade, shows how various social, environmental, and labor movements shook and shaped the City as we know it today.
Barbara Berglund, Presidio Trust historian; the book’s editor Chris Carlsson; photographer Stephen Rees; and poster archivist Lincoln Cushing will discuss the book’s stories of various Bay Area intersections with the Vietnam War. This includes GIs organizing against the war and anti-war newspapers that helped to inform the public and end the war, local poster activism of the period, and the story of the “Presidio 27.”
