Up From the Ashes: A Historical Panel Discussion
Santa Rosa’s fires left large portions of the city devastated, with enormous challenges ahead. But if you ask local historians, we’ve been here before. A partnership between KQED, the Historical Society of Santa Rosa, and KSRO held a discussion about fires, earthquakes and floods in Sonoma County and Santa Rosa’s history, and the many ways the community came together then – and how we can recuperate now.
The event was held on November 14, 2017 at the Roxy Stadium 14. Panelists included: Gaye LeBaron, Press Democrat; John Schubert, Historian; and Pat Kerrigan, of KSRO. Moderation by: Gabe Meline of KQED.
All ticket proceeds — 100% of gross ticket sales — and additional donations collected at the event – were donated directly to the Redwood Credit Union Fire Recovery Fund and Redwood Empire Food Bank.
