Black Spaces: Reclaim & Remain offers visitors a unique chance to witness the weeping willow that connects their family’s legacy and Russell City’s history as a community. Jessie Mae Johnson recalls that her grandfather was mourning the loss of his home when he planted this weeping willow tree on his property. Years later, Jessie Mae’s daughter, Marian, is pictured here under her family tree. Black Spaces: Reclaim & Remain on view through March 1. #BlackSpacesOMCA #OaklandMuseum #OaklandHistory
