Cultural Heritage Award: Culture Mapping 90404ġ8th Street Arts Center Jan Williamson – Executive Director The Santa Monica History Museum’s exhibition, Broadway to Freeway: Life and Times of a Vibrant Community featured the tight-knit neighborhood along Broadway, built by African American, Mexican American and immigrant communities in the mid-20th century. With period photographs, advertisements, oral histories, and songs drawn from the collections of the Quinn Research Center, the Museum, and the Santa Monica Public Library, the exhibit focused on the neighborhood’s families, businesses, churches, and civic and educational institutions. The community was forcibly displaced, and many of its buildings demolished in the 1960s to build the 10 Freeway. Broadway to Freeway has helped bring the stories, meaning and impact of this historically significant community back into public memory.
