Bernstein s Preserving Los Angeles just released : Larchmont Chronicle

NEW BOOK: published in April. At a wonderful late-April book launch event attended by 497 people via Zoom, author Ken Bernstein and photographer Stephen Shafer discussed their new book, “Preserving Los Angeles,” with award-winning local author and National Trust for Historic Preservation trustee Lisa See. Bernstein is a principal city planner in the City Planning Department, and he directs the city’s Office of Historic Resources. Previously, he was the director of preservation issues for the Los Angeles Conservancy. I had the privilege of reviewing an advance copy of the book, and it truly is worth reading (and owning!).

Currently, just over three percent of the city’s roughly 1,200 historic landmarks are tied to African American heritage, and part of the plan, Whalen said, is to examine preservation methods “for systemic bias.”

Paul Getty Trust Declaring the historical record woefully incomplete, the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) and the city of Los Angeles today announced a three-year effort to identify, protect and celebrate local sites that are central to African American heritage. Of the 1,200 places in Los Angeles designated as cultural or historic landmarks, the Getty and the city note, just over 3% are linked to African American heritage. “Having only about 40 feels well short of reflecting the totality and richness of African American heritage in the city,” says Ken Bernstein, principal city planner at the Los Angeles Department of City Planning and manager of its Office of Historic Resources (OHR), which is teaming with the Getty on the
