The San Bernardino County Museum announced the extension of Power of the Press: Black Voice News @ 50 exhibit through Sunday, April 28, 2024. The exhibit documents the transformation of the Black Voice News from a printed community weekly newspaper to a digital solutions-focused, data reporting news organization.
It also highlights not only the organization’s work as local government watchdogs but as recorders of Black life in the Inland Empire, including profiles of leaders making a difference in communities across the region, coverage of community events, mapping community assets, and reporting on the fight for social justice and racial equity.
Features of the exhibit include chronicling the power of the Black church, illustrating the impact of Black-led non-profit organizations, and documenting the legacies of Black professionals – doctors, educators, elected leaders, business owners and corporate executives.
The San Bernardino County Museum is located at 2024 Orange Tree Lane in Redlands. General admission is $10 (adult), $8 (military/senior), $7 (student), and $5 (children ages 6 to 12). Children 5 and under and Museum Foundation members are free. Parking is free and the museum is accessible to persons with disabilities.
The San Bernardino County Museum’s exhibits of regional, cultural and natural history and the Museum’s other exciting events and programs reflect the effort by the Board of Supervisors to achieve the Countywide Vision by celebrating arts, culture, and education in the county, creating quality of life for residents and visitors.
