Marin City, California, has launched a new art exhibit featuring several bus stops, aiming to honor its historical legacy, particularly the contributions of Black pioneers and shipyard workers. Felicia Gaston, founder of the Marin City Historical and Preservation Society, emphasizes the importance of educating the public on Marin City's origins. The project, led by Oakland-based artist James Shields, celebrates the stories of the workers who migrated from the south, detailing their experiences and contributions to the area's history and culture.
We want to keep the city's legacy alive... We want people to know how Marin City got started.
Honoring the shipyard workers that migrated out here from the south... the story really told itself.
