Juneteenth 2018 - Reclaiming the Past - Stolen Legacy

From Black Panther Meadow near the summit of Mt Shasta and Mt. Shastina to the foothills above San Diego Bay, Juneteenth marks a special journey towards freedom throughout the Great State of California.

First California Governor Peter Burnett, in his inaugural address to the first California Legislative Session, spoke clearly of his desire to export all people of Pan African ancestry out of the State of California.

This and many, many other executive, legislative and judicial actions disenfranchised people of Pan African Ancestry in so many ways yet acknowledged or addressed by today's California Legislative members.

170 years ago, Gold was first discovered in Sutter's Sawmill tail race along the South Fork of the American River and indeed the world rushed in.

At Historic Negro Bar, a geography term used to the mile long gravel area rich with gold deposits, was the site where people of Pan African ancestry were recorded developing a mining camp, part of Ranch Rio de Los Americanos, owned by Homorable William Alexander Leidesdorff, Jr., the "African Founding Father of California."

Today, Historic Negro Bar, at Leidesdorff Plaza is Historic Folsom Station, poised for expanded rail service along the oldest passenger railroad footprint, west of the Mississippi River.

From 1619 to 2019 is indeed biblical prophecy may be fulfilled as esteemed elders and ancestors suggest.

Negro Bar Juneteenth - Reclaiming the Past, once was officially part of the National Parks Service, Underground Railroad to Freedom and we are poised to build towards 2019 on a firm foundation.

The first global news story reported the California Gold Rush throughout the world and sparked an economic engine that today is the 5th largest economy on earth.

The "good news" is he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years, 2019 is fulfillment of prophecy.

The authentic golden legacy of California Pan African Heritage is poised to be shared and indeed as another California Gold Rush upon historic Liedesdorff Ranch is already taking place.

The Great State of California is well positioned for the next 170 years, the question is who will wear the full armor and reclaim the full measure from the historic stolen legacy, 1619-2019?
