Dignity: a walking tour

Come along on a FREE walking tour surveying social movement history in San Francisco, positing that what all marginalized demographics seek is the dignity of not having to justify their existence in the presence of larger groupings of humanity. As the tour explores 11 stories of the dispossessed, marginalized, and "othered," it discovers a thread indicating a public policy built on recognizing equality of right to occupy place as an antidote to systemic social harm.

The native Ohlone, African-Americans, the cannon-fodder war veterans, migrants, the economically distressed would all find themselves warmly within the family of the USA were the locational rent they pay paid not to private parties but to society as a whole. And so too would all White America find itself not replaced, but securely embraced by minority populations were the location rent all residents pay paid to society. This vision of harmony was itself born of a social movement awakening here in San Francisco in the 1860s and 70s.

Join the walk for a spiritual "coming of age" experience.
