Join the OAACC and community partners for “The Waterfront: A Conversation About What It Means to Be a Port City,” hosted by Oakland Port Commissioner and West Coast Longshoreman Derrick H. Muhammad.

This important conversation will explore the history, development, economic impact, and future of Oakland’s waterfront, while creating space for community voices and dialogue about the role the port plays in building economic opportunity for Oakland.
