Crenshaw Boulevard: L.A.’s Artery of Diversity—Educator’s Edition

Immigration, racial identity, education, economic development—all of these issues converge on Crenshaw Boulevard, the 23-mile urban artery running through South Los Angeles. This program travels the storied roadway from disadvantaged South Central to the mansions of Palos Verdes overlooking the Pacific. Viewers meet many of the residents and entrepreneurs who breathe life into Crenshaw—including Laura Hendrix, owner of an African-American-themed art gallery; Father David O’Connell, co-chair of the anti-gang activist group One L.A.; and Freddy Fong Sr., who left Noriega’s Panama to raise his children in the land of opportunity. Bonus material (DVD and VHS only) features additional commentary. (55 minutes + 8 minutes of bonus material)
