| 2020-07-08 18:30:00Z | Jul 08, 2020 | Virtual Meeting: Lise Pearlman and Judy Juanita | The Lasting Impact of the Black Panther Party | Jul 08, 2020 6:30 PM |
The Black Panther Party was founded in Oakland in 1966 to address pressing issues in the flatlands of Oakland that society at large had largely ignored. Come see a clip from the prize-winning documentary project American Justice on Trial: People v Newton. Find out from historian Lise Pearlman about the extraordinary legal impact of the Panthers and from foot soldier Judy Juanita about the many service programs the Black Panther Party provided for the local African American community.
Judge Pearlman is the leading expert on the 1968 Oakland death penalty trial that gave a national platform to the Black Panther Party and has been called “a world-changing true story.” Poet, novelist, playwright and lecturer Judy Juanita was part of that story -- an active foot soldier in the Panther Party from 1967-1969. A great opportunity to hear about a pivotal time in Oakland’s history with lasting impact through today.
This is a weekly meeting for The Rotary Club of San Francisco Evening, open to all Rotarians, visiting Rotarians, prospective members and guests.

Club Meeting: Marc Johnson | SF Beekeepers Association | Nov 11, 2020 6:15 PM |
Keeping bees in the City. Crazy?
When most people think of bee colonies, they think of farms, rural areas and an abundance of space and plants for bees to gather food. But with the latest trend in beekeeping we see increasing numbers of both beekeepers and green spaces in cities and suburbs.
But beekeeping in urban areas can cause anxiety for city dwellers. Mostly because of myths and misconceptions. This short presentation will provide an introduction to honey bees, talk about the benefits of having bees all around us, dispel some common myths and answer questions about how bees and humans can co-exist in the City. We'll discuss what it takes to be a beekeeper in an urban area and also talk about the importance of bees and some practical information about honey. Marc Johnson is a member of the San Francisco Beekeepers Association, has been keeping bees for about eight years, is part of the swarm catching team in the City and teaches bee classes at Garden for the Environment and more. |
