He and Margherita recently bought a decrepit waterfront building in Mill Valley, at 242 Redwood Highway Frontage Road, where the Grateful Dead once practiced and still functions as the base for seaplane tours.

“Her granddaughter and my brother are married,” she said. “So the legacy doesn’t stop — because we are a close community. Even though a lot of first-generation people who came here are gone, their legacy continues.” The bus shelter art project is part of an ongoing effort to tell the enclave’s Black history led by Felecia Gaston, a local historian, educator and nonprofit executive who has partnered with the county’s schools and libraries to teach this California story. “There were maybe 20,000 Black people who worked in the shipyard from 1942 to 1945,” said Gaston. “We selected a few because we actually have their oral histories.”
