The Multiracial Americans of Southern California (MASC) began in early 1986 with a core of eight individuals, representing many people interested in interracial/intercultural issues, who wanted to share and explore their experiences with others. They formed an organization that would address some of the special needs of racially and culturally blended families, couples, and individuals.
In September 1986, the first edition of Spectrum, MASC's newsletter, was published. In October (Los Angeles County Cultural Diversity Month), we sponsored our first Kaleidoscope conference to provide a forum for discussion and the exchange of information regarding interracial and multicultural issues; this became an annual event.

MASC seeks to broaden self and public understanding of our interracial, multiethnic, and cross cultural society by facilitating inter-ethnic dialogue and providing cultural, educational, and recreational activities.
MASC is an affiliate of the Association of Multiethnic Americans (AMEA), which was instrumental in the decision by the Office of Management and Budget to allow those of mixed-race ancestry to check multiple boxes on the 2000 census.
MASC continues to provide a variety of activities for its members and the public, including lecture and discussion forums, social activities, and information resources, particularly to the media and professionals.
