History Rhymes: Harry Burt, the Richmond Progress & Press Freedom
January 14 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Jim Davis presents Harry Burt of the Richmond Progress. A colorful character, ardent political liberal in a city dominated by Republicans, and champion of reform.
He published a weekly newspaper out of Point Richmond from 1933-1942, covering the Great Depression, the New Deal, the completion of two Bay Area bridges, and the opening of World War II. Come hear the tale of a fascinating, almost Hollywood story!
Q&A follows. Light refreshments. For questions call (510) 620-6567.
