The Santa Monica Historical Society Museum will celebrate Black History Month by showcasing a pair of Santa Monican brothers that contributed to the city in ways still visible today. On Sunday, Feb. 13 the public is invited at 2 p.m. to a slide presentation to learn about Donald and Vernon Brunson, who were born and raised in Santa Monica, and also raised their children there.

Admission is free. The museum is located at 1539 Euclid St. Parking is available behind the museum and at Santa Monica Seafood on Colorado Avenue at 12th Street. For further information, call (310) 395-2290.
