In honor of 2020 Black History Month, The Museum of the San Fernando
Valley’s Speaker Series with the Pacoima Historical Society is proud to
present:
“The Entrance: Pacoima's Story”
Crystal
Jackson, Founder and President of the Pacoima Historical Society, and
filmmaker of the 2018 Pan African Film Festival Best Feature Documentary
nominee “Pacoima Stories: Land of Dreams”, returns to The Museum SFV to review and discuss her new book
"The Entrance: Pacoima's Story". Learn about the Pacoima you never knew
and its 1,500 year history.
Author and historian, Crystal Jackson, delivers an authentic and
compelling account of one town’s epic journey through American history.
Since our nation’s birth, Pacoima has been a microcosm of America’s
social development and evolution. From the Mission era and genocide of
the area’s natives, into becoming among the country’s first suburban
minority communities, Pacoima's diverse cultural history is unlike any
other. This amazing new book features hundreds of historic photos from
Pacoima's history and more than 600 pages of information about the town.
Crystal was born in Pacoima in the ‘60’s. Her family had moved to the
San Fernando Valley in the 1930’s, first North Hollywood, then Pacoima.
Crystal graduated Granada Hills High School but went to San Fernando
High her last semester to stay close to her Pacoima friends. She majored
in Journalism at Cal State Northridge, but it wasn’t until Crystal
moved to the Bay area to begin her Pacoima film that she realized the
richness of her town’s history.
After the discussion, Crystal will personally sign the books of all in attendance.
The cost of each book is $32.00 plus 9.5% sales tax. A portion of the proceeds will benefit The Museum of the San Fernando Valley.
