In The Beginning

Raised in Hunter's Point at the dawn of the Black Power movement in the San Francisco Bay Area, Lonnie Green was born at St. Mary's Hospital in the Fillmore District in 1967 and would become the beneficiary of the Hunter’s Point/Bayview Free Breakfast Program, where he learned firsthand at a young age what it meant to be Black and proud.
It was soon discovered that his upbringing in a family of musicians made him a powerful "mover" to the music of his generation.
