A Google Maps screen grab of the Latasha Harlins mural on the Algin Sutton Recreation Center.

Latasha Harlins “was commemorated for the first time 30 years after her death with a mural that sits on the exterior of a recreation center in #SouthLA, just blocks away from where she was killed.” www.latimes.com/travel/story...

The Militant needed to use his car today in #SouthLA but didn't want to drive all the way to #Glendora. So he parked at Crispin Glover's favorite @metrolosangeles.bsky.social station and hopped on the train to the debut of the Glendora (A) Line #NightMarket, at the station 'til 10pm tonight!

South L.A. just became a Black cultural district. So where should its monument stand? We break down the significance of the potential locations, including Leimert Park, Central Avenue, Exposition Park, Adams Boulevard near Arlington Avenue and others.

Now that #SouthLA has been designated a Black Cultural District, local leaders need to decide where to place "the physical landmark that will serve as the district’s entrance or focal point."

Potential sites include #ExpositionPark, Central Avenue & #LeimertPark. www.latimes.com/travel/story...

Tomorrow! Community call to reclaim #SouthLA ✊🏽👇🏽

Flyer titled “Reclaim Our Streets – South LA: Florence Takeover.” The background features bold, vibrant colors with a stylized illustration of community members holding signs, drums, and instruments in a street procession. Key phrases in large font include: “Black and Brown Solidarity,” “Stop the Raids,” “ICE Out of South Central,” and “We Protect Each Other.” Event details read: “Tuesday, July 29 at 4 PM. Meet at SCOPE – 1715 W. Florence Ave. Procession to Florence & Normandie and back.” Bottom of the flyer includes info about free food, music, mutual aid, and community care. The tone is bold, energetic, and rooted in cultural pride and resistance.

Volante que dice “Reclama Nuestras Calles – Sur de Los Ángeles: Toma de Florence.” Tiene colores vivos y un dibujo de gente de la comunidad marchando con letreros, tambores y músicos. Algunas frases grandes dicen: “Solidaridad entre Negros y Latinos,” “Alto a las redadas,” “ICE fuera del Sur Central,” y “Nos cuidamos entre nosotros.” El evento es el martes 29 de julio a las 4 PM. El punto de encuentro es en SCOPE: 1715 W. Florence Ave. Habrá una procesión a Florence y Normandie y luego de regreso. Abajo dice que habrá comida gratis, música, ayuda mutua y comunidad. El mensaje es de orgullo, unidad y resistencia.

Florence & Normandie is an intersection of resistance. 

On July 29 at 4 PM, we’re reclaiming it for our people.
Black and Brown communities are rising up in South LA. Join the procession. Free food & music.

The ending broke my heart. 💔

I am an American. And our communities do not deserve this.

I am an American and afraid to be out for being of Mexican blood, and proud.

This is just wrong. 💔

Our communities are not criminals.
