As the birthplace of the Black Panther Party, history has shown — we do things differently in Oakland. From our art and music to our values and politics, the Town has been at the forefront of activism, social justice, and community empowerment for decades.
At OMCA, we strive to document and preserve Oakland’s revolutionary history so that future generations can continue being inspired to work towards creating a more vibrant and just future. Our mission is manifested through our partnerships with local Oakland neighbors, as well as our programs, events, gatherings and exhibitions that focus on telling these undertold and untold stories.
