Coastal Crossroads Launches!
Sunday, June 7, 2026, from 1.00 am to 4.00 pm PT
Santa Monica, California
Celebrate Nick Gabaldon Day and Juneteenth at the debut of the Coastal Crossroads Tour, an exploration of Santa Monica’s coastal landmarks, public art, cultural sites, and African American history, and local eateries. For the inaugural event, four sites related to Santa Monica’s Black experience will be docented by me, Dr. Alison Rose Jefferson and a team of storytellers. Here is a link to an event flier. In addition to the highlighted four sites, the remaining of the 20 tour stops of the self-guided tour will also go live on June 7 here.
