Davis Phoenix Coalition

A remarkable piece of Yolo County history is coming to the stage.

Basil Campbell rose from enslavement to become the wealthiest Black landowner in Superior California. Now, Sacramento playwright and director Anthony D’Juan is bringing his story to life in "Superior California", a new work of historical fiction inspired by Campbell’s life.

The staged reading, presented by Studio Creatch, is free and open to the public.

📍 Repower Yolo, 909 5th St., Davis
📅 Oct. 10 & 11, 2026
🕖 7p

The story was first uncovered through research in local newspapers and Yolo County archives by Studio Creatch co-founder J.R. Wolfe while pursuing an MFA at UC Davis.

Limited seating is available, so early arrival is encouraged.

💙 Meet Yolo Philanthropy Award Honoree Leanne!

Leanne has been part of the Davis Phoenix Coalition since its founding in 2013 and has served as the organization’s secretary for the past decade.

But her service goes far beyond keeping meeting minutes. Leanne consistently shows up at community events, lends a helping hand wherever it is needed, and brings a trusted voice to conversations about equity and ensuring the voices of vulnerable community members are considered.

Her steady commitment over more than a decade has helped strengthen the Davis Phoenix Coalition and its work in the community.

Congratulations, Leanne, and thank you for your years of dedicated service! 🌟

Thank you to our title sponsor Nugget Markets!

All Set up and ready to have a great day at the annual family fun carnival.

You are so special and very loved ❤️

The world would not be the same without you 🌎
