Please join us Monday, Oct. 23 for a conversation about the history of Piedmont; the early origins of redlining in the Bay Area, and how it affected one family in particular, the Dearing family.

“History of Piedmont: Racism and Redlining” will be presented by Piedmont High School Associated Student Body students, supported by the Piedmont Anti-Racism and Diversity Committee (PADC).

The presentation, which will also be given to Piedmont High School sophomores and juniors in early November, follows the tumultuous and complicated legacy of our community. Created by members of the PHS Associated Student Body, they hope it will inspire change and promote an inclusive environment.

Doors will open at 6 pm at the Alan Harvey Theater. The presentation will begin at 6:30 pm. We also invite you to stay after the program for light refreshments and conversation from 7:30 to 8:30 pm.

The more we know about our past, the better we can aid the future of Piedmont.
