Stereotyped to the Margins: A History of Black Characters in Comic Books 

February 3rd - March 14th, 2025

Come join us Monday February 3, 2025 to celebrate the opening of the Santa Rosa Junior College Multicultural Museum’s newest exhibit for Black History month, Stereotyped to the Margins: A History of Black Characters in Comic Books. The exhibited pieces invite the viewer to look through a critical, thoughtful, and open lens. The point and purpose of the exhibit is not to elicit shock or moral outrage, but simply to create a setting to examine culture and ourselves so that we can move forward by understanding the antiquated and fixed traditions, and hopefully creating new, helpful, and uplifting relations with the images of African Americans.

Spotlight on Bun Lucas 

March 24th - June 26th, 2025
Milton “Bun” Lucas (1925-1995), a revered elder of Pomo and Miwok descent from the Stewarts Point/Kashia Pomo community, was a powerful spiritual leader dedicated to keeping his people’s cultural traditions alive. Through Native dance and song, Bun passed on the rich origin stories of the Pomo and Coast Miwok peoples, reconnecting generations to their heritage and ancestral roots.

Breaking Traditions, Saving Traditions:
Elsie Allen and the Legacy of Pomo Basketry 

This remarkable collection of baskets and accompanying material will have resided at Santa Rosa Junior College for 20 years in 2023, yet it has never been exhibited in its entirety since arriving here.  For the collection’s 20th Anniversary at Santa Rosa Junior College, all the baskets will be on display, filling the museum, along with photographs, previously unseen videos, and stories of the weavers themselves.

Exhibit funded by the SRJC Foundation
