Walk through cold prison corridors where notorious inmates once paced. Stand at the edge of a Civil War fort that guarded the Golden Gate. Explore the site where Native American activists sparked a movement for Indigenous rights and justice. Through thoughtfully curated books, podcasts, videos, journal/discussion prompts, and creative reflection projects, you'll uncover the layered history of Alcatraz — from military stronghold, to maximum-security prison, to symbol of freedom and resilience.
