Terry Collins, 1936-2021, was a Black Panther, a 1968 SF State Student Striker and BSU organizer, a founding member of San Francisco’s Black radio station KPOO 89.5 and mentor and professor to countless young activists in California and around the country right up until his last days. We at the Bay View remember him with deep love. His work here continues. – Photo: Johnnie Burrell

On July 24, 2021, a sunny Saturday, surrounded by flowers and balloons, good food, music, loving family and comrades, we transformed the parking lot of the African American Art & Culture Complex into a joyful place to celebrate the life of Terry Collins.
