Celebrate Marin City's 80th Anniversary!

Marin City 80 is a year-long celebration of Black history in Marin City since its founding in 1942 as a diverse community of shipyard workers. So far this year, there have been art installations, an album of songs about Marin City and the Marinship shipyard, and a new cookbook with recipes by Marin City grandmothers, Grandmothers Feed Us Love. This four-minute video from ABC News provides an overview of the three exhibits covering 80 years of Marin City's history. These exhibits are at the Civic Center in San Rafael Monday-Friday 9am to 5pm through Tuesday, November 1, 2022.
