The newspaper was established by Dr. William H. Lee, local radio personality Geno Gladden, and businessman John W. Cole, who recognized the urgent need for a weekly publication that would document and amplify the experiences, achievements, and concerns of Black Americans at a time when mainstream media largely ignored them.Following the untimely passing of Gladden, William and his wife Kathryn C. Lee assumed full leadership in 1965, forming the Lee Publishing Company. Under their guidance, The OBSERVER expanded steadily, producing multiple publications across the West Coast, including editions in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Reno, Solano County, Stockton, and Sacramento — establishing The OBSERVER as a prominent regional voice and a model for excellence in reaching the Black community.The OBSERVER has earned the John B. Russwurm Trophy — awarded by the National Newspaper Publishers Association as the nation's top Black newspaper — eight times, most recently in 2025. Collectively, the publication has received more than 800 awards for journalism excellence and community service, affirming its role as a benchmark in the Black Press.Learn more athttps://www.theobserver.media/about/about https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/cd73e280-a914-11f1-a4a1-eb59356bc08b-rimg-w1200-h333-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg Thank you to our annual sponsor ! https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/cd88ca10-a914-11f1-a4a1-eb59356bc08b-rimg-w1200-h334-dc486848-gmir.png - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/sacramento/1-million-cups-sacramento-at-the-sacramento-observer/100001999819396649 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Meetups, Sports, Business, Workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Sacramento - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: The Sacramento Observer - **lat**: 38.6205821 - **long**: -121.5227792 - **full address**: The Sacramento Observer, 2890 Gateway Oaks Drive, Sacramento, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: 1 Million Cups Sacramento at The Sacramento Observer - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/918ace99ba655dd7ad71c6d7c6b1a62c7cb0120553247dc9090f562e8d216d0a-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf8f8e8-gmir.jpg?v=1788604225 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is 1 Million Cups Sacramento at The Sacramento Observer being held? - **A:** 1 Million Cups Sacramento at The Sacramento Observer takes place on Wed, 16 Sep, 2026 at 08:30 am to Wed, 16 Sep, 2026 at 10:00 am at The Sacramento Observer, 2890 Gateway Oaks Drive, Sacramento, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing 1 Million Cups Sacramento at The Sacramento Observer? - **A:** 1 Million Cups Sacramento at The Sacramento Observer is organized by 1 Million Cups Sacramento. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
