L.A. Stories: Community Spotlight

Communities

Los Angeles has long been multicultural, with peoples of different backgrounds finding a home and a place to create community. The stories told here spotlight communities little featured in traditional narratives of the city and county history. They include activism by the Chumash people, who predate California as a state, seeking to ensure the continuity and visibility of their history in Malibu. It also includes stories of African-American communities, Japanese-American communities, and activists defending the rights of day-laborers and street-vendors.
