The Council Of Elders Metro Sacramento Strives To Create Lifelong Relationships That Will Strengthen The Community For Generations
Dr. Tchaka Muhammed, the Founding Father of the Sacramento Birthing Project, grew into Birthing Project USA and has now welcomed over 15,000 babies globally.
Tchaka Muhammed's birthday is 02/28/1942. He was 82 years old and lived in Sacramento, CA. You never know when the last time we can speak with an elder will be. I talked to Tchaka in August 2024 when visiting Sacramento for the 13th Annual Banana Festival. I went by his House Museum, which held so many artifacts that he had collected over the years. We asked him to represent the Sojourner Truth African Heritage Museum at the City of Altars held in 2023.
T'Chaka on YouTube—City of Altars is a documentary that follows the narratives of five arts organizations: The Latino Center, Sol Collective, Taller Arte del Nuevo Amanecer, Sojourner Truth African Heritage Museum, and the Washington Neighborhood Center, as they offer free altar-making workshops to the community. The core of this documentary explores the celebration of Día de los Muertos, what it means to Sacramento and neighboring communities, and how people can learn more about celebrating Día de los Muertos.
Created with funding from the California Arts Council Capital Region Creative Corps and the City of Sacramento.
