Author Spotlight: Wherever There?s a Fight: How Runaway Slaves, Suffragists, Immigrants, Strikers, and Poets Shaped Civil Liberties in California

Local authors and ACLU veterans Elaine Elinson and Stan Yogi will lead a virtual tour of significant civil liberties sites and incidents in the Bay Area, specifically Marin County. The first-ever account of the struggle to develop and protect rights in the Golden State, Wherever There's a Fight captures the sweeping story of how freedom and equality have grown in California, from the gold rush right up to the precarious post-9/11 era. The book tells the stories of the brave individuals who have stood up for their rights in the face of social hostility, physical violence, economic hardship, and political stonewalling. This event will take place at the Boyd Gate House at 1125 B Street, San Rafael, CA 94901. Doors open at 6:30 PM, Presentation at 7:00 PM. Suggested Donation: $5
