An Evening of Sacramento Jazz
Thursday, February 27th at 6 p.m.
Discover the soulful world of jazz! Join us at the Sacramento History Museum for an unforgettable evening as we dive into the rich history of Sacramento Jazz and the West End with the incomparable Harley White Jr. Orchestra.
The West End Blues is a multimedia event combining the music of the Harley White Jr. Orchestra, performing big-band jazz, and true tales from Sacramento’s lost neighborhood, the West End, narrated by historian William Burg.
This combination of narrative, music, and historic images reveal the hidden histories, tragedies, and triumphs of Sacramentans whose stories might otherwise be forgotten.

Afrofuturism: An Open Discussion
Wednesday, February 26th
6pm - 8pm
We`re continuing our discussion series this month with a dialog about Afrofuturism! We`ll watch a brief history and some short videos, then open the floor to discussion. What are the benefits of speculative futures? What challenges and opportunities do they present? Is Afrotopia possible? Explore the intersection of Black culture and history with science and technology. Afrofuturism is music, film, fashion, literature, art, performance, and more.
This is not a lecture, but an open forum discussion. Your thoughts and ideas are welcome. From Sun Ra to Octavia Butler to Black Panther, to Janelle Monae, into the Spiderverse, and beyond.
