The discovery of gold in California kicked off the largest mass migration in US history. Whites, Blacks, Latin Americans, and Chinese immigrated to the territory in the hopes of striking it rich.

Although numerous enslaved African Americans crossed over into the “free” state of California with their slave masters, some free African Americans traveled to California and made sizable profits from gold digging. 

What role/s did African Americans play in the gold rush?

Why isn't there more told history about their role?

How did the gold rush impact the lives of African Americans during that time and what has been the impact today?

Find out these things and more on today's show with my special guest Jonathan Burgess. Jonathan will introduce us to the California African American Gold Rush Association, a newly formed organization created to provide a more accurate history that takes into account family records and oral narratives that were passed down from generations.
