Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Unsung Heroes Living History Project will collect narratives and photos from DJs of color in the Sacramento area to curate an exhibit showcasing the history of Sacramento DJs.
Organization Summary
The Unsung Heroes Living History Project presents photographic displays of African American veterans,
presents exhibits, book discussions, and luncheons to bring veterans, families, and the community
together to pay tribute to those who served. Two of the current exhibits present: “We Also Served:
African Americans in the Military,” which honors all veterans of African descent and “Welcome Home,
Vietnam Veterans,” which honors Vietnam-era veterans. In 2016, UHLHP began working with a CalVet
representative to host ceremonies that pay homage to Vietnam-era veterans bestowing them with a
commendation signed by President Barack Obama and medal during each luncheon. These ceremonies
will continue until 2025.
