Please join the San Francisco Historical Society for a conversation with United States District Judge William Alsup, one of the most distinguished federal judges in the country. In his recently published memoir Won Over, Judge Alsup, who is white, writes candidly about his upbringing in segregated rural
Mississippi and his remarkable path to becoming a civil rights advocate.

Won Over offers a historically accurate yet deeply personal account of transformation during a difficult time in America’s history. Noah Griffin, SFHS Board Member and former law school classmate of the author, will interview Judge Alsup about his life, his work, and his book. Copies of Won Over will be available for purchase at the event.
