African American Heritage
"People are trapped in history and history is trapped in them." - James Baldwin

The Chinatown Cultural Gallery will open an African American Heritage Exhibit on Tuesday, January 7. Please join us in creating something that properly represents African American Heritage and reflects Fresno history. Committee will begin meeting in November.

Contact Jan at 559.859.1763 or chinatown93706@gmail.com.

Do you have some time in the late morning or early afternoon, roughly once a month? We distribute community information and ask questions every month, and would appreciate a volunteer to help out. There's flexibility in the day and time.
