Long Beach is home to a vibrant community of people who celebrate culture through art. Their stories deserve a platform.

Last year, the Long Beach Post wrote about the 40th anniversary of the city's Pride Parade, which local leaders say is still a vital act of protest. Recently, we shared the story of Jacob Boland, a Long Beach Camarata singer who continues to perform even after COVID-19 took his hearing.

For the past five decades, indigenous communities from all over the country have traveled to Long Beach to celebrate their culture through Pow Wow. And this year, the city's last standing independent movie theater will celebrate 100 years.

Donate now to help our reporters tell the stories of Long Beach's many multi-disciplinary artists, long-standing institutions and iconic figures.
