Women Pioneers in Oakland: The Afternoon Carriage House Salon continues!

On Sunday, March 24th the Carriage House Salon Lecture series continues at 4 PM with Michael Colbruno talking about women pioneers from Oakland and surrounding communities in honor of Women's History month. This will be an intriguing look into the lives of female pioneers in the arts, law, architecture, business, civil rights and botany who made a difference to our community.

Michael Colbruno is a docent at Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland, California. His popular blog Lives of the Dead includes biographies of over 350 people buried at Mountain View Cemetery (https://mountainviewpeople.blogspot.com/). Along with historian Dennis Evanosky, he is co-author of the book Lives of the Dead, which marked the 150th anniversary of Mountain View Cemetery and was published by Stellar Media.

As a photographer, he has been professionally published in the book Street Art and the War on Terror, published by Rebellion U.K.. Michael has become the docent expert on the early lives of the gypsies who lived in the East Bay.

This fascinating program will conclude with a question and answer period and a lovely champagne reception with a generous offering of sweets, hors d'oeuvres and non alcoholic beverages available, too. $25 per person, all proceeds go to the Pardee Home Museum, call Richelle Lieberman for more information at 510.381.1973.
