Visit Santa Monica’s History Museum to discover how residents built Broadway into a flourishing community of color – and how the Interstate 10 freeway destroyed it in the 1960s. Featuring period photographs, advertisements, oral histories, and songs, the exhibition draws on the wealth of archival material collected by the Quinn Research Center, which is dedicated to preserving the history of African American life in Santa Monica.
