HistoricPlacesLA Revealed: Latino Los Angeles

SPARC and the Great Wall of Los Angeles are proud to have been named as highlighted historic sites for Latino Los Angeles, by the City of Los Angeles, Department of City Planning and Office of Historic Resources.

HistoricPlacesLA Revealed is a new initiative aimed at celebrating places and stories associated with Los Angeles’s underrepresented histories. The pilot project, HistoricPlacesLA Revealed: Latino Los Angeles, will highlight sites that reflect the heritage of Los Angeles’s Latino communities, the city’s largest ethnic/cultural group.

Looking ahead, Los Angeles City Planning’s Office of Historic Resources is inviting Angelenos to share sites that should be recognized as important connections to Latino heritage and history. The HistoricPlacesLA Revealed: Latino Los Angeles project celebrates the places and stories of LA’s Latino communities.

With Angelenos’ feedback, physical markers will be installed at over 100 culturally significant sites. The markers will have QR codes linked to multimedia content in HistoricPlacesLA, the City’s online historic resources inventory.
