Los Angeles will celebrate its rich cultural heritage with the upcoming event, "Mexican Hollywood," set for June 7 at 10:30 AM on the promenade in the Port of Los Angeles. This event aims to honor a historic neighborhood that thrived in the 1920s, known for its vibrant community and cultural significance. The area, located at the foot of the Vincent Thomas Bridge, was once a bustling residential community before families were displaced in 1952 for the bridge's construction. The council highlighted the importance of recognizing this lost community and its contributions to the city's history.

In addition to the celebration, Councilmember Nazarian announced a Women's Wellness Fair happening concurrently on June 7 from 9 AM to 12:30 PM at 7800 Vineland Avenue in Sun Valley. This fair will feature workshops on self-defense, health screenings, and various resources aimed at supporting women's health and well-being.

The meeting also recognized Lance Makoto Oishi for his 37 years of dedicated service to the city. Colleagues praised his contributions to public infrastructure and community programs, emphasizing his impact on the lives of Angelenos. As he retires, his legacy of service and commitment to improving public spaces will be remembered.

These events reflect the city's ongoing efforts to celebrate its diverse history and support community health initiatives, showcasing a commitment to cultural recognition and public service.
