Celebrating a Civil Rights Icon


Five years before Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Sacramento's Nathaniel Colley began paving the way for justice and equality across the nation. Join us on Tuesday, May 27th, for another special dinner program as we celebrate the life and historic legacy of our city's first practicing Black attorney. As a pioneering civil rights advocate during the last half of the 20th century, Attorney Colley made a profound and lasting impact on California and the nation, joining Chief Justice Earl Warren and President John F. Kennedy in the battle to end Jim Crow in California and throughout the United States.
