Freedom is never free, each generation must pay the price.

Interestingly, no targeted effort to consider Black folk, continues.  The official salient primary source documents that validate the authentic contributions of people of Pan African Ancestry along the American River Parkway, to my knowledge has ever occurred, by design, yet the "African Founding Father of California" Memorial Highway sign burned to the ground as a sign and symbol of the current reality. 

"Eveybody" is given deference to tell their story, save the very people who are being "whitewashed" from history, by manifest destiny in the 21st century.

Beginning in 1849, at Colton Hall, California Constitutional Convention the discussion and written documentation clearly show the "legal" outcome and desired impacts continue today with the initial transfer of wealth via Spanish Civil Law toward today English Common Law.  It will take the Federal Reserve Bank and  Bank of International Settlements to ferret out qualifying and quantifying the vast economic generational impact on the vast California Working Landscape.

Well over 200 million dollars in gold was extracted specific to the land once entitled to the "African Founding Father of California" as if murder applies to his estate and the ongoing stolen legacy of the African Cuban, Danish Jewish US Vice Consul who submitted the report of the Bear Flag Revolt leading to the California Republic that flies on our California State Flag.


Since, 1846, both enslaved and free people of African Ancestry have endured second class humanity (1840-1875) and today the last visible notion that anybody Black walked the land preserved by a "need" to rename Negro Bar and alter reality with a myopic vision of reality.  I wonder if they will seek to change my birth certificate too...

Indeed, Memorial Day began as a long held tradition by people of African ancestry to bury fallen soldiers with dignity and respect, Martyrs of the Race Course, probably a fable too that never occurred in a fantasy called the US Civil War where over 700,000 white men died to preserve the Union and "legally" free all from bondage.  Soon everybody will know as Juneteenth National Freedom Day.

Imagine, it took over 15 years to remove the word "Nigger" off the graves of early pioneers of African Ancestry, "Moved from Nigger Hill, by the U.S. Government in 1954" indeed we led the effort to properly reference the town Negro Hill on the newly installed graves at Mormon Island Relocation Cemetery.

Given the ongoing desire of the California State Parks management team, a "need" to alter authentic history with a fabricated notion of modern political correct fantasy is in play, maybe bringing the "Nigger" back should be an option on the table of discussion.

Clearly, 1849 pioneers were not African Americans, in fact, in 1857 the US Supreme Court ruled, "slave or free the Black man has no rights the White Man is bound to respect."

That value of righteous indignation remains in effect in many quarters from sea to shinning sea, and clearly by a active few in the Sacramento region.

Once again we will seek redress with the US Justice Department to assist mediating the ongoing desire for sub-unit, second class, disparaging treatment we see in the State of California process to provide equity and inclusion throughout the Gold Mining District managed by the California State Parks.

In my 20+ years of effort to provide a balanced view, utilizing primary source documentation is far to often ignored and discounted by the "need" to manage the feelings of political winds of change, for change sake, where "hate crimes against humanity" are masked as equity and inclusion.
