We Are Not Strangers Here
from KVMR News Hosted by KVMR-FM
KVMR News correspondent April Glaser explores the history of Black life in rural California through the lens of a new exhibit Rood Administrative Center in Nevada City, entitled We Are Not Strangers Here. Glaser interviews Susan Anderson, history curator of the African American Museum of California, and Linda Jack of the Nevada County Historical Society about the history of slavery in California, rural Black family life in the state, and one prominent family of Grass Valley, The Sanks. We Are Not Strangers Here was made possible by a local partnership with the Nevada County Arts Council, Grass Valley-Nevada City Cultural District, the County of Nevada, Nevada County Historical Society and the Nevada County Historical Commission. The broader exhibit represents a collaboration between the California Institute for Rural Studies, Susan Anderson of the California African American Museum, the California Historical Society, Exhibit Envoy, and Dr. Caroline Collins from UC San Diego.
