Wanted:A Permanent Home
The Domini Hoskins Black History Museum Received $2 Million to Find a Home in Redwood City!
Thanks to Senator Josh Becker, for negotiating funding to help us establish a permanent home for our work in the community. We are also grateful to the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors for their support of our work in the community, and to San Mateo Event Center for serving as our fiscal agent for the funding from the State of California. There is much to do as we shift gears to find a permanent home and we are excited to shift from having pop-up exhibits to being able to offer events and activities year-round that celebrate Black culture and history within our community
