A Black History Block Party honoring Black history, culture, creativity, and excellence will be held on the 200 block of Georgia Street on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Jazz showcases, soul, gospel, and hip-hop will be performed throughout the day, and former Vallejo Poet Laureate Jacalyn Eyvonne will offer poetic reflections. A youth and kid zone will feature youth performances, live painting with a young artist, horse and pony rides, and more.

Confirmed community leadership speakers include Solano County Supervisor Cassandra R. James, Vallejo City Councilmember Dr. Tonia Lediju, NAACP Vallejo President Patricia Hunter, Vallejo District 5 candidate Tara Beasley-Stansberry, community organizer Rob Reason and Mrs. California Black United States Amanda Henry.

And of course there will be food by local vendors and a beer and wine garden for adults.

Then at 6 p.m., learn The Real Truth About the Black Cowboy at the Vallejo Museum. Featured speaker Albert R. Harris will lead the conversation, and share historical insight, cultural truth about Black cowboy legacy and its lasting impact on American history. The evening will also include dynamic entertainment by Julie Brand Latin Jazz and other musicians, cultural fashions, poetry and more, in a celebration of Black creativity, artistry, and heritage. A suggested donation of $10 at the door will support the event organizers and artists.

Herger’s collection features baskets, masks, ceremonial objects and Herger’s own ceramic works. Both shows will be open Sunday afternoons in March, with an artist reception for the Curiosities show on March 8.
