Paul Conrad 90th Birthday Public Remembrance

Paul Conrad, the late 3-time Pulitzer Prize winning political cartoonist, will be remembered and honored at a public gathering on what would have been his 90th birthday. The free-to-the-public special event will take place on Friday, June 27 from 6pm until 7pm at the monumental 26-foot-tall 'Chain Reaction' peace sculpture he created and gifted to the City of Santa Monica in 1991. The landmarked sculpture is located in the Santa Monica Civic Center at 1855 Main Street.

Robert Scheer, the award-winning journalist, Editor in Chief of Truthdig and former columnist for the L.A. Times will be the featured guest speaker.

At the event, participants will be invited to share in a '90 Cupcake Birthday Peace Symbol Display, as the cupcakes are arranged to form a giant peace symbol. The cupcakes are being provided courtesy of the creative West Hollywood bakery Cake and Art.
