The Santa Monica Conservancy will have an information booth at the “Inkwell” site at the end of Bay Street.  At this site during the Jim Crow era (1900s–1960s), Santa Monica College student Nick GabaldĂłn and other African Americans and their supporters challenged racism and class structures to make a contribution towards opening up public beach spaces for all.
