Reporter Laurie Perez interviewed LMU professor Priscilla Leiva and Palo Verde resident Carol Jacques, co-founders of “Chavez Ravine: An Unfinished Story,” a first-of-its-kind community-curated archive in partnership with LMU that documents and preserves the history of Palo Verde, La Loma, and Bishop, commonly referred to as Chavez Ravine. “We can think about the experience of Carol’s family and the experience of the families today in Chinatown and Highland Park and Echo Park. Who consistently bears the brunt of development and changes to the land in Los Angeles?” said Leiva.
