Otis College of Arts and Design in Partnership with the Mayme A. Clayton Library & Museum will be presenting the art show Layin' it Low: Car Club Culture. The Otis students created key chains, a magazine, a replica of a car hood featuring a image of Mayme A. Clayton,  a banner, shadow box and panel painting of Mayme. The focus of the show is The Majestics a Compton based car club.  The event, which is tonight from 7PM-9PM will feature the students pieces and The Majestics. The Majestics are bringing 5 cars and will demonstrate the hydraulics and comment on their detailed art. 

The California African American Genealogical Society (CAAGS) is currently visiting MCLM every Friday & Wednesday to organize their book collection.  CAAGS would like to deposit this collection at MCLM but first the items that are for sale must be removed. This collection of books and periodicals is extensive with a plethora of genealogical information.
