The Beginnings and Evolution of View Park Los Angeles

By on March 30, 2018

One of the largest historically African American enclaves in the United States. Come out for lively conversations about Los Angeles’s View Park.  The first program focuses on the beginnings of View Park, a community developed between the 1920s and 1950s, and it looks at how the neighborhood changed dramatically after the landmark 1948 Supreme Court ruling that declared racial covenants unconstitutional. The second and third meetings explore the evolution of the neighborhood from its beginnings to today, including its controversial inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. The sessions are led by Karen Mack with LA Commons.

The California African American Museum

Organizer of Evolution of View Park: The Beginnings of View Park

Located in Los Angeles’ Exposition Park, the California African American Museum’s mission is to research, collect, preserve, and interpret for public enrichment the history, art, and culture of African Americans with an emphasis on California and the western United States.

Founded in 1977, CAAM has a long and rich history. The first African American museum of art, history, and culture fully supported by a state, CAAM was the direct result of a sustained, multi-year campaign of activism undertaken by visionary founders and community members. Its creation was an early and tangible recognition by the State of California of the critically important role African Americans have played in the American West’s cultural, economic, and political development.
