African American History Tour | Arts & Culture

Meet runaway slaves, Buffalo Soldiers, restaurant owners, deacons and gamblers on February 23, 2013, 10 a.m. at the Sacramento Historic City Cemetery, 1000 Broadway, Sacramento. Whether arriving free or as slaves, African-Americans couldn't vote or testify in court and dealt with widespread discrimination.  Hear their stories and learn about the background of these Sacramento residents.  Free parking is available at 10th & Broadway, across the street from the cemetery's 10th Street entrance.  Tours are free; however, donations are appreciated and benefit cemetery preservation.
