You are Invited to Making Our Neighborhood: Redlining, Gentrification and Housing in East Hollywood

With our final Redlining poster, one thing is clear:

Racist tools designed to separate and dehumanize “others” can in fact be reckoned with and even “hacked” to serve a higher calling, that is, to bring “others” together for the purpose of humanizing all of us on our own terms.

J.T.Leave a comment

In our twenty-seventh episode, we chat with none other than Dante Mitchell, a Spoken Word artist, musician, and community organizer from South Los Angeles. Dante talks about his upbringing through the Open Mic scene in Los Angeles with the mentoring support of Mike The Poet, his community fundraiser with the famous Eso Won Books, as well as his most recent event organizing with Hot and Cool cafe, and much more. A really special session for listeners, especially Los Youngs coming up in The City.

EPISODE 21 – SILVER LAKE IS SUSPECT

J.T.2 Comments

In our twenty-first episode, we hop on the Zoom call with DJ Swish, a long-time local and East Hollywood aficionado. We discuss Cahuenga Public Library’s special, though sometimes unnoticed status in the community, news of Silver Lake’s recent Police Violence Memorial being taken down, the boundaries between Silver Lake and East Hollywood and their effect on the latter, and more of L.A. facts and fiction. A very special session for listeners.
