The Annual San Francisco Historical Society Awards Luncheon

On November 11, 2021, the San Francisco Historical Society hosted the 11th Annual Awards Luncheon at the Mark Hopkins Hotel on Nob Hill in San Francisco.

At this year's event, two notable San Franciscans were honored. The Honorable Willie Brown Jr., and SFHS Founder Charles Fraccia.

I photographed the event for the SFHS. Here are some of my photos from the day.

The San Francisco Historical Society exists to uncover, preserve, and present, in engaging ways, the colorful and diverse history of our city from its earliest days to the present.
