- She won a historic third term as a write-in candidate, the only U.S. mayor to do so.
- The exhibit includes personal items like scarves, playbills, and letters from dignitaries. - O'Neill also served as president of Long Beach City College, the first woman in that role.
The exhibit runs through December at 4260 Atlantic Ave., offering a deep dive into her impactful career.
