Boyle Heights Historic Walk
I've walked this neighborhood for years trying to trace what the urban renewal and freeway construction of the 1950s and 60s removed. The freeways here displaced ten thousand people.
Boyle Heights was the most diverse urban neighborhood in pre-war America: Jewish, Japanese, Mexican, Armenian, African American communities layered on Tongva land.
