Daniel Bacon presents a screening of Madams of the Barbary Coast.  He is the writer and founder of the Barbary Coast Trail, San Francisco’s official history walk.  He is also a Board member of the San Francisco Museum and Historical Society. 

He will introduce and contextualize the documentary, Madams of the Barbary Coast in which one meets Tessie Wall and a diverse group of the Madams and some of the sex workers who flourished or perished in the mythically male- dominated mileux of  early 20th century San Francisco.   The Film, both flamboyant and shocking, was directed by Michael Rohde and produced by Vénus Oriane.

Daniel Bacon will also do a Q and A.
