Pasadena Heritage presents 200 Years of Black Pioneers in Pasadena and Los Angeles, a hybrid lecture exploring the deep and often overlooked roots of the African American community in Southern California.
Presented by Steven McCall, longtime volunteer and Board member of the Los Angeles Conservancy and Dave Nufer, program developer, researcher, and docent for Pasadena Heritage, this program highlights the stories of pioneering Black individuals, families, and communities who helped shape Pasadena and the greater Los Angeles region over the past century and beyond.
Through historical research, preservation work, and community narratives, the speakers will examine how these trailblazers contributed to the cultural, social, and civic life of Pasadena and Los Angeles, and why their legacies continue to matter today.
Attendees are welcome to join either in person or online, with time for questions and discussion following the presentation.
