This year the SFAACC has chosen four areas that are historical to our culture. African Americans in Country, HipHop and R&B Music, Coffee and the Hair Industries. San Francisco has a lot of talent and SFAACC plans to reintroduce these four talented artists in their own right to the San Francisco Bay Area.

 

We have a great lineup of events:

In an effort to learn more about this month’s chosen topic, We’ve organized a few events that will get us talking and learning about African American and Country Music, Black Hair Care, Coffee, and African American Music Roots.
