Key posts Archives -

Throughout San Francisco history, there have been a series of events that brought the City to it’s knees: the 1906 earthquake, World War I and the Spanish Influenza, the Depression and World War II, Vietnam, civil rights and a series of serial killings and assassinations, AIDS, the Loma Prieta earthquake, and COVID-19. Each “key post” takes a comprehensive look at these events. Every other post is a story that demonstrates the resilience of a City that can, as is aptly represented by the City Flag, rise from the ashes.
