Calling all Redlands families who trace their roots to the multiracial community around Stuart Street between 6th and 11th — the center of Black community life around Second Baptist Church and St. Paul AME in Redlands! We are celebrating a new exhibit opening at the Museum of Redlands with a neighborhood family reunion to share the photos and stories we’ve collected to tell this story. Join us and bring extended family so they can learn their roots! Bring historic photos to share if you want to keep adding to the archive
