Civic Memory Working Group
THE CITY-Announcing the publication of the Civic Memory Working Group’s report and its topline recommendations,
which propose ways for the City to more honestly and effectively commemorate important historical milestones, protect historic and community resources and develop new monuments and memorials.
Mayor Eric Garcetti himself reminded, "When you lose an elder you lose a library."
Public facing monuments and memorials are so important and they have to be about what people care about and at bare minimum: the naming rules and processes must be made open and accessible!
In that spirit, the lad from Sunshine Hill in Studio City, who avoids Nextdoor because it's more abusive than fun, submits the following Oral History and map to the highly talented team at Past Due: Los Angeles Mayor’s Office Civic Memory Working Group.
