African American Firefighter Museum
To celebrate African American Heritage Month, L.A. Controller Ron Galperin released an online map of local sites and resources highlighting the importance of the City’s African American community. “Black History is L.A. History” showcases 15 local places, monuments and institutions that are culturally and historically significant to the development of the City’s African American community.
Controller Galperin said the map gives a virtual tour of some of the city’s most valued historic sites, along with others that deserve greater public visibility, illustrating how Black Angelenos have helped transform L.A. into a diverse, modern metropolis.
The map allows users to explore places of worship, museums, notable residences and other significant landmarks throughout the city that underscore some of the contributions of the African American community.
