2012 Negro Hill Interfaith Prayer Circle continues the journey toward discovering the hidden legacy, represented by the desecrated burial ground of early Negro Hill Gold Rush Pioneers.

Formal U.S. Federal and U.N. International assistance will be requested to document the journey towards freedom (1840 -1865) for people of African descent, National Ag Day 2012.

The “Sacramento Regional Crown Jewel,” the American River Parkway has an amazing past, present and future, inclusive of Black Agriculture beginning prior to 1848.

Our annual Interfaith Prayer Circle again brings together positive supporters toward building, “New Way Forward, Healing What is Hurting America.”

Together, we will highlight the trust and integrity essential to build a positive new beginning after the challenging and contentious process to replace 36 grave markers with a foul, wicked reminder of the ongoing "hate crimes and stolen legacy that represent the current reality."

An official U.S. Cultural Resource Study will document the historic contribution by people of African ancestry along the American River Parkway, inclusive of the Honorable William Alexander Leidesdorff, Jr., "African Founding Father of California."

Negro Hill, California will forever be recognized as an extraordinary early Gold Rush community and a suitable site will celebrate the historical legacy of the free migration of people of African ancestry yearning for a greater measure of freedom.

Today, California State Historical Landmark No. 570, remains missing and the ongoing effort toward establishing an international pubic/private partnership to document authentic historical preservation of people of African descent.

Join us at our Black History Month 2012 event, Negro Hill Interfaith Prayer Circle, Sunday, 26 Feburary 2012, 1:45 p.m., Folsom Point and then Mormon Island Relocation Cemetery.

Negro Hill Cemetery was relocated during the 1954 construction of Folsom Dam; and sparks salient consideration to authorize our proposed U.S. Cultural Resource Study that may surpass the essential requirements necessary to establish a Negro Hill U.S. National Monument.

Interfaith leaders will join us in prayer as we continue the long and difficult journey to preserve the dignity and respect for early California Gold Rush Pioneers of African Ancestry.
