DESCRIPTION:Come and join us at the Sacramento African Marketplace to help Save and 
 Preserve Negro Bar, Folsom Lake Recreational Area, California State 
 Park.\n\nNegro Bar was the nucleus for the City of Folsom, according to 
 noted author William M. Holden in his book, Sacramento Excursions into Its 
 History and Natural World.  \n\n170 years ago gold was first discovered 
 along the American River Parkway at Coloma.  \n\nNegro Bar, Sacramento 
 County was a mile long gravel area along the south side of the American 
 River, first mined by people of African ancestry in 1848. Thousand of 
 tonnes of Negro Bar gravel was used to build today's Folsom Dam.    \n\nIn 
 1845, Leidesdorff Ranch, 35,521 acres along the American River was owned by 
 a Negro, Honorable William Alexander Leidesdorff, Jr. \n\nThe mining town 
 Negro Bar, Sacramento County was surveyed in 1854 by Theodore Judah, as the 
 terminating point for the first Passenger Railroad west of the Mississippi 
 River that traveled from the City of Sacramento to Negro Bar, Sacramento 
 County.\n\nToday, we must help Save Negro Bar, and preserve the authentic 
 legacy by people of Pan African ancestry during the early California Gold 
 Rush Era, including Negro Village, Leidesdorff Ranch, Negro Bar, Negro 
 Hill, Negro Bluff and Coloma all along the American River 
 Parkway.\n\nTogether, we will identify and help develop career 
 opportunities throughout the California State Park System at Negro Bar.  
 \n\nPeople of Pan African Ancestry have a very unique California Gold Rush 
 Era story to share at Negro Bar, Sacramento County including celebrating 
 some of the first Park Rangers in the State of California.\n
