Watts, Calif. never recovered from the Watts Riot. Before the riot, 103rd Street was the main drag, but now it’s mostly residential.
California was settled by the Spanish. As far as I recall cal was not a slavery state. So what heritage sites we looking for? Does the SLARMY hideout burned to the ground in a gun battle in LA qualify?
Watts is a Mexican neighborhood now. Lemeirt Park, the so called Black cultural center of Los Angeles was an upper middle class white neighborhood in the 1950’s with beautiful one story stucco houses, churches, and shopping centers. The only thing that has changed is the demography of the area.
