About our Founder
Dr. River’s passion as Founder of the South Oroville African American Historical Society is to promote the awareness of the accomplishments of the historical Southside community of Oroville with a goal to establish a community center and neighborhood park that will provide educational and recreational programs and an in-house museum that will showcase the contributions of African Americans.
