Every year, Santa Cruz honors Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his legacy with a community march through Downtown led by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). The MAH typically joins the march and hosts a bookmaking art activity that folks can use to write their dreams and plans for a just future.
This year, we invite you to share those dreams with the rest of Santa Cruz County by adding a page into a community journal. At the end of February, all the submissions will be compiled and pieced together. The completed journal will be displayed the week of March 1st, 2021 as a close to Black History Month and continuation of a Black future.
Create, write, draw, or paint your response to one of the following reflective prompts:
You can write and draw your responses by hand or digitally. Written responses can be of any language. Submitted pages must fit within 10 x 10 inches. Per submission, please include a note with your name, address, email or phone number, and selected prompt.
Any disrespectful pages submitted will not be added to the community journal.
In-Person at the MAH from 12 - 2pm:
An example of a written response to the prompts.
An artistic collage in response to the prompts.
A digital drawing in response to the propmpts.
