Local history series spotlights African American contributions in El Dorado County
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEkD6DmQo2TwAT1qg4s8cUOgzislmj2Cw
Sierra Community Access Television is marking Black History Month with the launch of a new local history video series spotlighting African American contributions to El Dorado County, beginning with a feature on Coloma pioneer Nancy Gooch.

SCATV2 is debuting a Black History Month playlist anchored by “Coloma Pioneer Nancy Gooch Announces Black History Month,” a production highlighting the life and legacy of Nancy Gooch, one of the first African American women to achieve property ownership and financial success in California’s Gold Country.

Gooch arrived in Coloma in 1850 after securing her freedom and later worked to purchase the freedom of her family, according to the program. Her story is presented as part of a broader effort to connect local history with modern audiences.

“Our mission at Sierra Community Access Television has always been to tell the tales of our community,” program director Gary Campbell said.

Producer George Sabato said the series not only reflects on the past but also honors “the enduring spirit of those who helped build the foundations of Coloma and El Dorado County.”

The Black History Month playlist includes short films and educational segments featuring historic narratives, creative reenactments and archival footage. Topics include Gooch’s legacy in the Coloma Valley, African American mining communities and businesses in the Sierra foothills, the role of Buffalo Soldiers in the region and contemporary community members working to preserve and share local history.

SCATV2 is a volunteer-run nonprofit focused on providing a platform for local voices. The new series is part of the station’s ongoing effort to digitize and share El Dorado County history through modern media.

The Black History Month programs are available for streaming on the SCATV2 YouTube channel and air locally on Comcast Channel 2 as part of the station’s regular broadcast rotation.

More information about the series, volunteer opportunities and ways to support community access television is available at sierratv2.blogspot.com or by contacting producer George Sabato at (530) 622-8013.
