The Santa Monica History Museum plays a vital role in our community in how we tell the stories of who we are and where we come from. Reflecting the diversity of that cultural heritage is a critical part of our work - we cannot claim to be truly essential to society if we are not accessible to all.
This year's gala theme, HOMETOWN HEROES - Celebrating our Diverse Histories, is our way of beginning to recognize the contributions of members of our diverse community.
