2021 community calendar celebrates black contributions in Venice Jan. 23, 2021 at 6:00 am The 2021 Venice Community Calendar honors the longstanding contributions of Venice’s black residents, from the workers who built Abbot Kinney’s canals in the early 1900s to community leaders living in the neighborhood today. The history of black residents’ contributions to Venice is rich and multifaceted but not widely known by the broader community. The creators of this year’s calendar want to change that. “The mission of the calendar is to celebrate and enlighten the residents of Venice about where they live,” said co-creator Stephen Pouliot. “Venice’s history is rich in the gifts that the black community has given.”
