In the spirit of gratitude, we are reaching out to request your consideration for a year-
end donation in 2025 to support the work of SOJO. We hope you will include this important work in your year-end giving plans.
SOJO presents the Black Heritage 365 Program, which focuses on historical African
Americans in STEM. Our mobile Black Heritage Exhibitions provided educational
enrichment serving 6782 youth in the SMUD-funded STEM/STEAM education featuring
workshops, activities, presentations, and hands-on learning for youth ages 12-24 and
25+ adults.
SOJO highlights the stories of historic African Americans and notable Africans, like
Mansa Musa, through oral traditions called griots. Mansa Musa, known as the richest
man in history, amassed wealth primarily from the Mali Empire's control of the salt trade
and gold mining. Various spoken word artists create this interaction with our audience
during mobile exhibitions.
We look forward to being in touch with you. If you have questions or would like more
information on the Sojourner Truth African Heritage Museum, please contact Shonna
McDaniels, sojomuseum@gmail, or call our office at 916-320-9573.
