Title: Kathleen Cleaver and Panthers in Prosecution's office - 968 Creator/Contributor: Peter Breinig Contributing Institution: The Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley. Although a relative few Afro-Latinos and other Africans came to California before the mid-19th century, the Gold Rush brought the first real migration of African Americans to the state. Historic photographs and artwork show the changing lives of African Americans from the Gold Rush Era and Statehood (when many, but not all, slaves in California gained their freedom), through years of struggle to claim their civil rights.
