    The Photograph
    Jan 31 2022

    As COVID-19 began going viral in early 2020, a 1918 photograph of seven people wearing masks, standing on a train platform in Mill Valley went viral as well. A striking image at any time, this photo resonates deeply with us ever more in the time of COVID.

    Listen to a new episode of The History Mill as we dig into the story behind the image, the man who took it, why and how it became so popular, and the problems of ownership and attribution that come with historical photographs.

    80 Years of Racial Justice Work in Southern Marin
    Jun 10 2021

    In October 2020 the Mill Valley City Council established a temporary diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) task force that would serve as an advisory committee to the Council on racial equity issues. The Council and the public overwhelmingly commented that such a group was long overdue. Looking to the past, however, we see this was by no means the first time Southern Marinites grouped together to confront racism and forge a path towards equity. Beginning in the early 1940s and working our way to the present this episode provides some insight into how Mill Valley got to where it is today in this important work.
