New Project To Expand Black Landmarks In LA Will Soon Launch

By Cherranda Smith Apr 8, 2021 On Tuesday (April 6), the city of Los Angeles and the Getty Conservation Institute announced their plan to preserve Black history in the city. The African American Historic Places Project will be a three-year program to locate and formally preserve landmarks significant to Black history and culture.  Los Angeles Times said that the project will work out of the city’s Office of Historic Resources within the Department of City Planning. The initiative’s goal is to have a more accurate reflection of LA’s history and heritage. Right now, only about three percent of landmarks are linked to Black history.

The Getty has partnered with the City of Los Angeles to rethink how the metropolis identifies and preserves local Black heritage landmarks. The Los Angeles African American Historic Places Project, as the three-year initiative is called, will see the Getty’s Conservation Institute and the city’s Office of Historic Resources (OHR) work with communities and cultural institutions to celebrate sites that best represent Black life.  The project is “ultimately about equity,” Conservation Institute director Tim Whalen said in a statement. 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

LOS ANGELES    Places linked to African American heritage in Los Angeles will be identified in an effort to preserve them, the Getty arts organization and the city announced Tuesday. The three-year Los Angeles African American Historic Places Project will work with local communities and cultural institutions to identify places that best represent the African American experience in the city, the collaborators said in a statement.
