Tales of The Town: The Film

Amidst the Black population's current fight against gentrification, police violence, environmental racism, and public health disparities, Tales of The Town: The Film serves as a reminder to Oakland’s Black community of our rich history of struggle and determination against the many manifestations of racist-capitalist oppression and exploitation. Through the stories of people who have called this place “home” since the 1930’s, the film strives to not only preserve radical history, but to use it as a guide to create positive action in the present day!
