The Black Community Collective and Shim’s Surplus Supplies are pleased to announce their first gala event, The Inaugural Celebration of Black Reno: Its Culture, Art, and Resistance, on March 25th, 6-8 pm, at Shim's Surplus Supplies, 125 West 3rd Street in Reno. The evening will showcase the rich, black history of Northern Nevada by highlighting the lives and work of brilliant African American elders and community members who have contributed to the legacy and history of Reno, NV, and beyond. Reno owes it to itself to pay attention.  Our first honoree will be Ms. Geralda Miller. Ms. Miller will be discussing her life in Reno for the past 20 years and the contributions she's made, with a focus on her thesis The Biggest Little Struggle: Black Activism in Reno, 1954 to 1965 that analyzes racism in Reno and the political activism organized by the Local NAACP.
