The documentary returns to theaters this month alongside the release of a new box set. It's a chance to consider what it captures (and doesn't) about music, race and justice in the 1970s and today.

California’s Northern Channel Islands, sometimes called the "American Galápagos," are often celebrated as a trip back in time where tourists can view glimpses of California prior to modern development. The islands are sometimes portrayed as frozen moments in history where ecosystems developed in virtual isolation for tens of thousands of years. For at least 13,000 years, however, the Chumash and their ancestors occupied the islands, leaving behind one of the longest and best preserved archaeological records in the Americas. From ephemeral hunting and gathering camps to densely populated coastal villages and Euro-American and Chinese historical sites, archaeologists have studied Channel Island environments and material culture records for over 100 years, piecing together a fascinating story of initial settlement by mobile hunter-gatherers to the development of one of the world’s most complex hunter-gatherer societies. For more than 10,000 years, the Chumash survived dramatic changes to their land- and seascapes, climatic fluctuations, and ever-evolving social and cultural developments. Today, the lessons of Channel Islands history can act as a guide for building sustainable strategies. The resilience of the Chumash and Channel Island ecosystems provides a compelling story of hope for a world increasingly threatened by climate change, rising seas, declining biodiversity, and geopolitical instability. This event will be held on Zoom. Follow San Diego Archaeological Center on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram

Black Market III is an award winning, national and international touring band based in Southern California. BMIII crosses over, using the Blues as the root of the sound.

In addition to their original music, BMIII features more obscure covers from Tom Waits, Jimmie Vaughan, Otis Blackwell, Tito & Tarantula, and many more. No pigeon holing this band--Blues and American Roots firmly planted, yet not like anything you've heard or seen before. “Americana from the heavy end of the CD bin.
