The Coronado Historical Association cut the ribbon Friday on a new exhibit, “An Island Looks Back: Uncovering Coronado’s Hidden African American History.”. “Most people think Coronado has just been this pure white enclave that had no Black history,” exhibit curator Kevin Ashley said. “When they come and see this, they’re going to go: ‘Oh my God, there was actually a Black community here going back to the 1880s.”
