Eric Bradner shares the stories of African-American pioneers. He’ll explore some of the families that made the Sacramento area their home amid the turmoil of California’s entrance into the Union. In a time when slavery was permitted throughout most of the country and bigotry was alive and well, these people made their mark on the region. Come learn their stories with the Sacramento Historical Society. 5961 Newman Court, sachistoricalsociety.org.
