The
M.
H.
de
Young
Memorial
Museum,
commonly
referred
to
as
the
de
Young,
is
a
fine
arts
museum
located
in
San
Francisco's
Golden
Gate
Park.
The
de
Young
is
named
for
early
San
Francisco
newspaperman
M.
H.
de
Young.
The
season
Young
museum
is
located
parallel
to
the
California
Academy
of
Sciences
and
the
Golden
Gate
Amphitheater.
Yesterday,
I
visited
the
de
Young
museum
because
of
an
amazing
exhibit
they’re
showcasing,
“Soul
of
a
Nation.”
Soul
of
a
Nation:
Art
in
the
Age
of
Black
Power
1963–1983
is
an
internationally
acclaimed
exhibition,
organized
by
Tate
Modern,
which
celebrates
art
made
by
Black
artists
during
two
pivotal
decades
when
issues
of
race
and
identity
dominated
and
defined
both
public
and
private
discourse.
The
de
Young’s
presentation
includes
a
focus
on
Bay
Area
artists
whose
work
promoted
personal
and
cultural
pride,
collective
solidarity
and
empowerment,
and
political
and
social
activism.
If
you’ve
never
been
to
the
de
Young
museum,
it’s
open
daily
from
about
9am
-
5pm
and
has
free
days
for
Bay
Area
residents.
