SF producer offers an AR tour of the enslaved South Carolina community that was freed in 1861

Documented facts have never been more up for debate, more scrutinized and undermined than now. With more and more states passing new laws against teaching so-called “critical race theory” and LGTBQ history, stewards of knowledge across the U.S., such as librarians and teachers, now face job loss and social exile for attempting to bridge the increasing chasm of access to history and the works that document and inform it. 

We in the Bay Area are fortunate to live relatively free of such pressures  — we have banned books embedded in public school curricula, and the space to discuss and debate ideas that are taboo elsewhere. And we host innumerable minds who have taken up the cause to teach all Americans history — not only what happened, but how, why and by whom, and in ways that surpass what a textbook can show us.
