“Homecoming” was the theme of the closing ceremony for Black History Month, hosted by California State Controller Malia Cohen, City Supervisor Shamann Walton, and Mayor London Breed, held in the rotunda at San Francisco City Hall on Tuesday, February 26.
A large crowded attended, including other elected officials, city administrators, entertainers, and members of the public. San Francisco Treasurer José Cisneros and San Francisco Fire Department Chief Jeanine Nicholson, both out members of the LGBTQ community, were among those in attendance.
The event included live performances paying homage to the cultural traditions of Black Americans. Among the featured performers was San Francisco Bay Times columnist and musician Kippy Marks, whose skills as a violinist always amaze. Food and wine were provided by Black-owned businesses, including Theopolis Vineyards, which was highlighted in the March 11, 2021, issue of the Bay Times.
