Activism

Activism and political engagement are important aspects of the story of South Asians in the Bay Area. From the founding of the Ghadar Party in San Francisco in 1913 to today’s activists and political figures, this history is long, complex, and deserving of attention.

This portion of our digital exhibit focuses on photographs of contemporary protests and marches organized by different groups, such as Alliance of South Asians Taking Action and members of the Sri Lankan community. We plan to add more images and other artifacts in the coming months.
