About this event

  • Event lasts 6 hours

Come discover "hidden figures" and oral traditions to include our California Tribal family who were displaced before, during and after our 1848 California Gold Rush.

Throughout the vast California Gold Mining Districts, a respect for tribal traditions was lost and forever disrupted, A'ho' all my relations.

Past, present and future generations can reconnect by sharing our unique "California Journey from Slavery Freedom" this special California 175th Anniversary, since the1850 Compromise and California Statehold.

As we continue to seek official paid holiday for both in the City of Folsom and State of California, Juneteenth is a paid holiday for Sacramento County employees aligned with our Title 5 US Federal Holiday.

The ongoing historical impacts and opportunites to mitigate egregious challenges with new opportunities for future generation requires clear honest analysis of what really happened (1840-1875) during the transition from Mexican rule to American rule.

Both free and enslaved California Pioneers of Pan African ancestry played major roles before, during and after the California Gold Mining Era (1840-1875.)

Reportedly, nearly 2,000 US Colored Troops enlisted from California and served during the US Civil War by helping to preserve the Union while endlong chattel slavery throughout California and the entire nation.

2025 we feature the Leidesdorff Legacy, reportedly the only recipent of a Mexican Land Grant to expressly acknowledge his desire to not disrupt the indegenous population on land entitled to him by the Mexican authorities.

We seek to preserve examples of early stewardship of the land by engaging the 1906 US Antiquity Act, helping us preserve official United States of America History here in todays Folsom by sharing an authentic history of our California Gold Mining District, 1840-1875.

Join us at our 25th Annual, Folsom Juneteenth as we continue working to preserve our unsurpassed contributions by California Pioneers of Pan African Ancestry by engaging key essential allies locally, nationwide and throughtout the world.
