“Secret Plans” continue the alleged cover-up of probable hate crimes in El Dorado County

by michael harris
The golden legacy of Negro Hill, California established in 1848 remains a "taboo subject." The surrounding interconnected communities around Negro Hill, California during the Gold Rush Era clearly represent authentic history sought to be destroyed by El Dorado County Officials. Cemetery Administration and El Dorado County Museum docents remain silent and support Supervisor John Knight in the ongoing challenge to obtain authentic historic documents yet be released. An investigation of alleged cover up of hate crimes and theft within Mormon Island Relocation Cemetery certainly will bring dignity and respect to the pioneers of African descent.

New Negro Hill Grave Markers Are Complete

Stockton, CA ~ The journey towards establishing an authentic history of Negro Hill, California continues. Stockton Black Leadership Council leads the quest to establish equity and equal opportunity highlighting documentation of the positive contributions by people of African descent in Gold Rush California, including the Emancipation Proclamation, January 1, 1863.

In 1848, Negro Hill, CA, was established during the transition from Mexico to California statehood. Negro is a Spanish word for Black and remains the third root of Mexican history.

Today, ongoing requests for official primary source documentation of past, present and future changes within Mormon Island Relocation Cemetery remain a “secret plan,” continuing the ongoing alleged cover-up of probable hate crimes by El Dorado County officials.

Today, 36 grave markers of early California pioneers are ready to be replaced. “Unknown, moved from Nigger Hill Cemetery by U.S. Government in 1954, may need to be replicated to preserve authentic history and insure our long difficult journey is never forgotten.

Stockton Monuments continues to lead the way in providing professional services toward a positive resolution that brings dignity and respect to the early pioneers of African descent.

Together, we will create an appropriate Negro Hill National Memorial worthy of official recognition by the United States Federal Register of Historic Places and replace California State Historic Landmark #570 to bring dignity and respect to our early California Pioneers.
