The Riverside African American Historical Society is partnering with the Mission Inn Foundation for a presentation exploring Riverside’s rich history of African American entrepreneurs and business innovations.

Craig Goodwin, narrator, will take us back to the “then” time when Riverside was a segregated community and Black businesses were relegated to the Eastside.

Then several panelists will transition to the  “now” entrepreneurs, including Adams Motorsports Park representative, the oldest Black-owned business in Riverside; Joan Roberts, owner of Visiting Angels; Bernie Edmonds, Artist, and Pamela Streeter-Laudermill, Parties Outta Sight, Professional photography, Alyce Smith Cooper, Stokely Family.  Don’t miss this one!
