History of Homeland
The Homeland Cultural Center was established in 1989 with a mission to provide a safe place to cultivate, present, and preserve the cultures of residents through the performing and visual arts, and to celebrate the Anaheim (Street) Corridor’s dramatic ethnic diversity by encouraging artistic expression in various cultural traditions. With the help of Ice Man, Steam, Waveomatic and Dixie, Homeland has become a place to share the Hip Hop culture to its fullest.
