Mama DeBarge

Professor of History at Yuba College (African American History; History of American Women); MA Degree in Ethnic Studies. Mom of 4 grown children; grandma of 7; I reside in Sacramento, Ca; I am a die hard Smokey Robinson fan and I love El too! Grew up on music thanks to my parents, everything from gospel, blues, jazz, classical, and Motown. My family groomed me into music early as I had uncles who were professional musicians playing with the late great Lionel Hampton and a cousin who sang with the Platters back in the way back day. I also love the Lord, and I have been told that I am too much of a humanitarian, whatever that means. I am a very upbeat person!
