Oakland Museum Field Trip

HOME Project's Summer Leadership Program took their first Friday field trip to Oakland Museum of California. The youth and staff were able to enjoy a new exhibit called The African Presence in México: From Yanga to the Present which is a look at the little-known history of enslaved Africans brought to Mexico in the 1500s and their contributions to Mexican culture. They also toured the Natural Sciences Gallery. After viewing the exhibits, our youth spent time playing lawn games in the Museum's courtyard.
