On Saturday, hundreds rallied in a march to the west steps of the state Capitol in celebration of African American women and in a call to action for their empowerment.
About 800 people participated in the third annual Black Women’s March from Crocker Park to the Capitol, placards displaying the faces of Sojourner Truth, Marsha P. Johnson and Mae Jemison hoisted high. Plenty stuck around for performances, live music and speeches from prominent community members, all organized by the Sacramento chapter of Black Women United.
