History
The district was drawn by Frederick Olmsted in the years 1920 and aligns “low houses with the frontages in stucco pastel of Spanish style”. In the beginning, it was a white residential district; the black community settled there following Ray Charles and Ella Fitzgerald in the years 1940. After the riots of the district of Watts in 1965, Afro-Americans open independent shops of art on the large avenues. The scenario writer John Singleton calls the district the “Greenwich Village black”.See too
