Museum of Social Justice

“What a find. Who would have imagined that in the quiet basement of a church sits such a powerful, relevant, and impeccably curated exhibition? This photographic journey captures revolution, evolution, and long-overdue recognition of success that history too often sidelines. As an Urban Studies major, this exhibit is nothing short of stupendous. It doesn’t just document history—it contextualizes it within the lived realities of cities, communities, and grassroots organizing. The images and narratives reveal how space, place, and collective action intersect, making the exhibition as analytically rich as it is visually compelling. We constantly hear about the men and their roles in the Black Panther Party, yet this exhibit centers the women—telling their stories with depth, intelligence, and undeniable impact. The narrative is outstanding: knowledgeable and educational, yet infused with an engaging, almost cinematic energy that keeps you fully immersed. The quality of curation rivals that of major museums—honestly, this is the kind of exhibition you would expect behind grand doors and hefty admission prices. That it is free of charge almost feels unjust; I have paid far more for experiences that offered far less. This exhibition is a must-not-miss. Do not overlook it. Do not underestimate it. Go. #tysadventures26 #bktyontheroadagain #museumofsocialjustice #california #”

“I passed this little gem several times during my L.A. Trip, and interested in its name. On my last day in LA, it’s finally open. I was quite surprised to see exhibitions about “comfort women”. It does live up to its name. Staff are very nice and very passionate about their exhibitions. Some of the installations are even hand made by the staff. They also print little books that has more documentations and resources for the exhibitions and giving out for free. Take to them, they’ll have tons of information to share. I will for sure visit it again if I come back to LA. I don’t feel like this museum has tons of funds judging by its vibe, so I would recommend donating some cash if you have some money to spare.”

“Checked out the museum, exhibits are solid and really informative. building has good history, easy to walk through and take it all in. staff chill, vibe quiet but engaging. right in the plaza, close to historic spots and shaded areas, makes it easy to combine with a dtla stroll.”

“Came across this space accidentally, almost missed it! Very happy I didn’t. The exhibit Comrade sisters was so excellent! Very thought provoking and so very relatable. Really opened my eyes to what women went through in the movement, what motivated them. Great staff.”
