SAN FRANCISCO, CA – MARCH 27, 2005 – On Saturday, March 25, 2006, State Farm Insurance, the number one auto insurer in the U.S., joined CityFlight Media Network to roll out the red carpet for its seventh annual gala to recognize 30 people for their respective contributions to the Bay Area African American community. San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theatre was the sold-out venue for the professionally-staged production, where CityFlight and its partners announced the "10 Most Influential African Americans in the Bay Area" for 2005.
