Join, ¡Pleibol! project collaborator Carol Jacquez as she reminisces about her time living in the mostly Mexican and Mexican American neighborhoods of Chavez Ravine, before they were destroyed to make way for affordable housing. Affordable housing never came, however, and instead the City of Los Angeles signed a deal with the newly minted Los Angeles Dodgers.
This video is one of eleven produced by our project collaborators for ¡Pleibol! digital learning activities and engagement.
