Black Village
I read that it is uncertain the future of Leimert Park in Los Angeles which was a hub during the riots in the 90s riots. Of course this area needs to be preserved. Why wouldn't it be. If people are trying to make a positive out of a negative which they were before the riots as a matter of fact, then why should that be held up. That was a rough point in American history and a functional place as a monument to me means more than any statue, especially because of what happened. I mean how can you put a monument up to mark the moment when the officers who beat Rodney King were acquitted. You can't. But it needs to be remembered for future generations so that the past doesn't repeat itself. Look at that place and remember white folks what can happen when you piss us off.
