<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">This week Perris Valley celebrates the100th Birthday of Perris Valley’s Grand Dame, Willie Moses. Willie has been a forward-thinking community advocate working to improve conditions for all, since she
and her family moved to the area in 1957. Sixty-five years later, at 100 years old, Willie is still holding the vision, and thriving as she celebrates her centennial with great fanfare. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">Part of Willie’s birthday celebration includes a Black History collection event focused on collecting, documenting, and archiving the untold history of African American pioneers in the Perris Valley. The
event takes place on Saturday February 19th, at the Moses Schaffer Community Center, from 10:30-1:30 p.m,. Please join us and help spread the word. (This is an outdoor event. Refreshments served)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><b><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">Do you have historic photos of Black community life in the inland Empire up to 1970? </span></b><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">Event sponsors are especially interested in scanning photos that capture civil rights organizations and protests, Black churches, businesses, and social organizations (Masons, clubs), and photos and memorabilia
of historic neighborhoods (like Good Hope, Mead Valley, eastside Riverside, westside San Bernardino, Stuart Street in Redlands etc.), and of course we’d love any old photos and memorabilia with Mrs. Moses. Feel free to complete this form prior to the event:
