We formed our organization to research, conserve and provide an inclusive and more accurate history

We formed our organization to provide an inclusive and more accurate history that takes into account family records, and oral narratives that were passed down from generations. Our laws, culture, and teachings all play a role in why oral narratives are so valuable as we interpret and present history that includes Black Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC). Our Mission
To fund and operate a public museum and historical staff to preserve, interpret, expand, and share contributions of African American (AA) pioneers of the United States, during, after and beyond the Gold Rush of 1849; to combat systemic and institutional racism and self-worth that has been placed on African Americans. When possible direct descendants of pioneers will be reunited with their family roots with the assistance of our research and genealogy partners. Bring valuable awareness to all Americans of AA contributions and achievements during and after the gold rush in a facility open to the public, located in historic location of Sacramento, California’s State Capitol, in an inclusive manor. Our Vision
In sharing inclusive , true stories of our past, we will share ones of modern day as well. Our hope is to bring about the unity needed in our nation by sharing historical and present day events that value efforts of humanity for all Americans. Our hope is that our visitors will eventually be able to enjoy some of the best food in our region when they visit the AAGR which will be home of The House of Burgess's Restaurant.

A lost family heirloom that dates back to the Civil War has returned to its rightful owners in Sacramento.

Three years ago California Gov was asked to launch an investigation into the true owners of this Church and its history since it was built in 1856.
Pioneer believe and have provided documents to support this Church became the Methodist Church in the 1860s and was used by Black AME members of CA colored citizens convention in 1863. It fell from its original diocese in 1863-64 and was no longer called the Emmanuel Church. The state of California is restoring the building; hopefully it’s true history will be part of that restoration . Resurveys of township sections 18-20 in Coloma as late as 1988 under the request of National Parks and signature of President Ronald Regan has made the truth difficult. However as a Burgess / Bell ancestor wrote in his Bible “The Glory of GOD live forever”. The church never moved from the original place it was built and described to be in the 1871 Cadastral Survey that was resurveyed in 1988! This investigation should have made it to your desk and will be monumental to a community of descendants who were once referred to as African American, and now desire to be called Black American. The biggest black wealth loss was behind land and resurveying played a major role . Restitution is a form of reparations and it is due.

Primary documents cannot be denied and Often times show a very different history than what was transcribed, depending on who transcribed it 🤔
