All student essays and artwork reflect their perspectives on the idea of the development of a community that embraces diversity, respect, inclusion and justice. The Santa Monica Bay Area Human Relations Council is a partnership of community organizations, institutions and businesses that actively promotes and supports a respectful and socially just community through education, advocacy, and resolution of local conflicts and issues. In addition to the Annual Literature and Arts Program, the HRC sponsors community-wide dialogues.
