San Francisco, CA. – Mayor London N. Breed today announced the City of San Francisco is planning a new public art installation to honor Black lives and the history of African Americans. The installation is planned to be located in Golden Gate Park’s Music Concourse next month, in time for Juneteenth.
The installation, ‘Monumental Reckoning,’ by Bay Area sculptor Dana King, honors the first Africans stolen from their homeland and sold into chattel slavery in the New World. The installation consists of 350 sculptures representing the number of Africans initially forced onto the slave ship San Juan Bautista for a journey of death and suffering across the Atlantic in 1619. A handful of these original 350 ancestors became America’s first enslaved people.

A VISION OF THE FUTURE IN THE EYES OF THE YOUNG Lea Salonga, art by Oteph Antipolo
I woke up this morning with my phone ringing.
It was Ligaya Salonga calling. I answered right away. She made a comment about my bedroom voice. I didn’t even take my time to clear my throat.
As always, Mrs. Salonga’s call was about Lea Salonga. She would only call if it was about Lea or her son, orchestral conductor, musical arranger, musical director of the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra, and resident conductor of the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra Gerard Salonga.
