El Barrio Amado: Palo Verde through three generations

In the early 1950s, the city of Los Angeles relocated residents from the area currently referred to as Chavez Ravine. We meet families who reflect on being displaced from their homes


In the early 1950s, the city of Los Angeles relocated residents from Palo Verde, La Loma and Bishop, which is currently referred to as Chavez Ravine. The land was originally slated for low-income housing. The properties sat fallow for years but eventually became the landing place for Dodgers Stadium. In this story we meet a family that recalls the difficulty of being forced to leave their home, and how their descendants are working to share their history with the world.
