Susan D. Anderson ’75, history curator and program manager at the California African American Museum, spoke to KQED about the Black Miners Bar, a public recreation area in the city of Folsom which was previously a site where Black miners panned for gold. “People of African descent have been coming to California since people have been coming to California,” Anderson said. “People of conquest in Spain, they brought African descended Spaniards with them who were navigators, soldiers, sailors, priests, enslaved people.”
