In 1841, a Black man arrived in California at the helm of a ship, carrying ambition and a secret: William Leidesdorff. Within a few years he became an American diplomat and civic leader who helped found San Francisco on a stretch of windswept sand dunes, building one of the largest fortunes in California. When he died in 1848, he left a fiercely contested estate, and the fight over his legacy continues. Born in the Danish Caribbean to a Danish father and an Afro-Caribbean mother, Leidesdorff built a record so vast it obscured his origins.
