Mr. George's Barbershop highlight of Black history speaker series

Apr. 23—As part of its Stories from Our Community speaker series, the Sutter County Museum hosted a presentation from Randy Deas on April 18 to discuss Black history in Yuba-Sutter.

The Sutter County Museum in partnership with the Lifting Others Forward Together Institute (LOFT) are working together to develop a new Black history exhibit by gathering artifacts and stories of notable figures in the long-standing history of African Americans in the region.

Deas, a funeral director for Ullrey Memorial Chapel in Yuba City and retired Air Force veteran, shared stories and information about Mr. George's Barbershop, a hub for connection and outreach for Yuba-Sutter's Black community.
