The Coronado Historical Association is inviting the Coronado community to help tell and preserve a largely neglected part of the community's heritage — the history of Coronado’s African-American community. This rich history, which spans over 135 years, is largely absent from the historical record of Coronado. This history includes not just African American residents of Coronado, it also includes those who attended school or worked in Coronado, as well as those who served at Naval Base Coronado. CHA is preparing for an upcoming exhibit that will delve into this valuable history. CHA and local historians have already uncovered many important resources, including photographs, school yearbooks, and newspaper articles, however, CHA is seeking the help of community members to help us learn more about this previously under-researched part of our community history. If you have photographs, documents, or stories to share (from any period,1885-2023) please stop by CHA on Friday, October 13 for Coronado’s African American History Community Collecting Day. CHA staff and volunteers will be on hand to explain more about the exhibit and to help scan photos and capture stories. Please visit here for more information about the event!

The origin story of Judy Reeves What sort of mad longing besets a woman―nearing 50 and recently widowed―to sell everything she owns, buy an around-the-world plane ticket, pack a single suitcase, and set off alone on a year-long journey without a plan or agenda? "When Your Heart Says Go" answers that question. Set in 1990-91, Judy’s story takes readers from San Diego through 11 European countries, the then-Soviet Union, and finally India, during the lead-up to the first Gulf War. Judy's presentation will be followed by an audience Q & A and book signing. Please visit here for more information about the event!

Festival de octubre en Baja California: Screening of the documentary "Fandango at the Wall" Festival de octubre concludes its October festivities with the screening of "Fandango at the Wall" (2020), a documentary that takes you along Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra founder/conductor Arturo O'Farrill’s journey through the remotest regions of Veracruz, México in search of musicians. This is where he is met with the masters of 300 year-old folkloric music: san jarocho. The film documents how he and his orchestra join these masters for a son jarocho music and dance festival called ‘Fandango Fronterizo,’ founded by Jorge Francisco Castillo. The two groups combine their musical talent, using elements of division at the U.S./ México border to create unity during Fandango at the Wall, a festival that takes place annually and happens simultaneously on both sides of the border. The event resulted in two recorded albums, one of which received a Grammy-award, a book was also written, and they filmed this HBO max documentary. Fandango is a party where everyone joins the show. This is the spirit that brought this project together and the reason for which we extend our invitation for you to join us as we screen this documentary and have the opportunity to hear from its creators and seal the presentation with a “palomazo,” commonly used to reference a spontaneous musical performance, by some of the film’s musicians. ¡No te pierdas este increíble evento en persona! Únete a nosotros en UC San Diego Park & Market para disfrutar de una proyección especial del documental "Fandango at the Wall." Sumérgete en la rica cultura de Baja California y descubre la belleza del fandango, una tradición musical mexicana. October 16 @ 7 - 9 p.m. UC San Diego Park & Market Guggenheim Theatre
