Goodie Goudeau and Jeanette McCree-Goudeau


Goodie Goudeau and Jeanette McCree-Goudeau were central figures in the arts here in Vallejo. They produced work, brought connections and inspiration. The community still benefits from their contributions. This very special couple facilitated events, taught cartooning classes to children and historically contributed nation-wide to “Positive Black Images” through Goodie’s greeting cards.
