Come discover "hidden figures" of our California Pan African Pioneers both enslaved and free along the American River Parkway, in Alta California, (1840-1875) on our journey towards freedom.

Negro Bar, part of the California State Park system the began in 1864 is poised to share a positive new direction toward inclusion of our unique California Pan African Heritage from the Port of San Francisco to the Gold Mining District above the American River Parkway.

Local, regional, state and national leadership continues to support the legacy and heritage surrounding Negro Bar and our unique journey towards freedom.

Together, we continue to identify, document and preserve the contributions by people of African ancestry 1840-1875 along the American River Parkway, as the multi million dollar phased development of Negro Bar, Folsom Lake Recreational Area, California State Park.

Our unique early journeys from Ancient Africa during the Age of Sail, through the destruction of Ancient African Civilization and the TransAtlantic Slave Trade, the US Civil War, Juneteenth and ratification of the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution is marked by a unique story of our contributions along the American River Parkway, from the Embarcadero of Old Sacramento to Historic Coloma.

We focus on 1840-1875 to preserve the California Gold Rush Era and our journey towards freedom.
