‘Black in Sac’ 11/11/21: Here’s your weekly list of events created by Black Sacramentans
It’s hard to believe we’ve been doing this for 10 weeks, straight. Thank you for your continued support, DMs, emails, and especially Google Form submissions for our weekly “Black in Sac” event list.
We love to continually include recurring events, so be sure to reach out to The Equity Lab via email or social media to inquire about the weekly, biweekly and even monthly events that you, or your favorite organization, have going on.
The “Black in Sac” event list was created to continue to shed light on the city’s Black creators, owners, organizers and their events throughout the city of Sacramento, which include their involvement in shaping the identity of the “city of trees.”
Whether the events are created and curated by Black creators, or simply you believe a venue is a nice hangout enriched with culture, please submit the event and details in the Google Form, here.
We are always looking forward to featuring the events and happening around Sacramento each week. Here are some events and activities in the city to attend this weekend on this week’s “Black in Sac” for Nov. 11 through Nov. 17.
