Museum of the African Diaspora

This guide to the Museum of the African Diaspora in San Francisco starts at the base of its three-story photo mosaic, a girl's face built from two thousand smaller family photographs sent in from Ghana, Brazil, Jamaica and beyond. You'll hear who that girl actually was, the photographer who caught her in Ghana in 1975, and the artist who turned her portrait into the museum's front door. It traces the mayoral order that brought the museum into being in 1999 and its opening in 2005.
