Episode description

At over 90 years old, Everett Brandon is still an active force for change. After earning a Juris Doctor degree from UC Berkeley School of Law, Everett moved to San Francisco to participate in the Coro Fellowship in Public Affairs. This immersive program provided him with valuable internships with various San Francisco City departments and institutions. Soon, he embarked on a journey with the NAACP as a field Secretary for the West Coast Region. In the early 1960s, he founded PACT (Plan of Action for Changing Times), a still-thriving non-profit that aids minority students in pursuing college and discovering new career paths. Everett also served as former Public Affairs Officer for the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, and was Vice-Chair on the Marin City Community Service District Board. In celebration of his 90th birthday, the Marin County Board of Supervisors awarded Everett an official commendation for his activism. Everett is a lifelong civil rights leader, and we were honored to hear how he joyfully continues to serve others in the Bay Area and beyond. Meet Everett Brandon!
