These photographs are from the collection of Fred Patten, who played a pivotal role in popularizing anime in the US. Patten credits this moment as the first time Americans attended a science fiction convention dressed as anime characters (or, as we’d say today, cosplay).2021-10-11T10:17:51-07:001980University of California Riverside Special Collections & University ArchivesCopyright unknown32.715738 , -117.1610838Unknown.

This section, just like the one prior, reflects and celebrates the differences among those who have impacted and continue to impact this city. This exhibit features many unique and accomplished Angelenos. Not surprisingly, given LA’s primacy as a center of entertainment, many of the noteworthy people featured here include artists, creative souls, and people in the movie industry. Additionally, librarians, educators, activists, environmentalists, scientists, and sports personalities from diverse backgrounds are represented in this exhibit. These Angelenos include immigrants, locals, people from numerous cultures, and many women.structured_gallery2021-10-22T11:13:25-07:00Curtis Fletcher3225f3b99ebb95ebd811595627293f68f680673e
