An Evening of Lesbian/Gay Culture with Pat Parker, Citizens Police Review Board Campaign, May 1980 [ONE Subject File Collection, Catch One, ONE Archives at the USC Libraries, Los Angeles, CA]

Los Angeles police officers forcibly removed Chavez Ravine residents who had been resisting the city's orders to leave their homes. The city had plans to build a stadium for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Palo Verde, La Loma and Bishop — three low-income neighborhoods that once made up the mostly Mexican-American community of Chavez Ravine. The dramatic forced evictions were a big story at first, but public support for residents began to wane when specious reporting attempted to malign holdout families’ claim to their plots, May, 1959.
