Civil Rights Institute’s New Pop-Up Exhibition Showcases The Legacy of Clarence Muse
Overview: A new pop-up exhibition, “The Legacy of Clarence Muse,” is on display at the Civil Rights Institute of Inland Southern California through March 13, featuring artifacts from Muse’s life collected by Dr. Norman Towels. Muse was the first African American to star in a major studio film in 1929, the first Black director of a Broadway show, and at one time, the highest-paid Black movie actor. The exhibit is a result of collaboration between the Civil Rights Institute and the community, showcasing the life of Muse, whose journey extended beyond Hollywood to Perris, CA. The Civil Rights Institute of Inland Southern California is not a museum, rather the Institute exists as a “living enterprise rooted in history.”

Cloud Naan Urban Desi BBQ
Pakistani kababs, sesame naan, and other local semi-rarities can be found at a Santa Ana strip mall. Though Orange County isn’t particularly well-known for Pakistani restaurants, we’re lucky enough to have a handful of noteworthy choices – especially Bundoo Khan‘s fast-casual BBQ and higher-end places such as Khan Saab Desi Craft Kitchen, Mint Desi Kitchen, and Urban Punjab. Cloud Naan Urban Desi BBQ is the latest small chain to join that group, having opened in Santa Ana early in December 2025, barely a year after its first location debuted in Carson, a city in Los Angeles County. Located at the edge of a strip mall less than a half-mile from the Santa Ana Zoo, Cloud Naan seats around 30 people in an all-but-serverless space with an oversized tablet for ordering and payment; guests place and pay for their orders, then sit at tables for around 30 minutes until food arrives. Brightly colored umbrellas, wall decor, and pillow-topped chairs make the dining room pleasant despite the absence of music, TV screens, or other typical (but not always beloved) elements in Pakistani restaurants.
