During Black History Month, the Southern California Library will hold an open house introducing its resources on the people?s history of Black Los Angeles on Saturday, February 26, 2005, at the Library, located at 6120 S. Vermont Avenue in Los Angeles. There will be tours and refreshments from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and a panel discussion on the history and activism of Black L.A. from 1:30 to 3 p.m. It will also be the opening day of the visual arts exhibit ?Journey? by artist Jaha Zainabu. The event is free and everyone is welcome. Please RSVP to (323) 759-6063 or mwelsing@socallib.org. For more information, call 323-759-6063 or go to www.socallib.org.

The panel discussion will cover topics that intersect with the Library?s rich resources:

? History and legacy of the Black Panther Party: Phyllis J. Jackson, Associate Professor of Art History and Black Studies, Pomona College

? Activist and newspaper publisher Charlotta Bass: Regina Freer, Associate Professor of Politics, Occidental College

? Homelessness, civil rights, poverty, gentrification, and racism: Pete White, Director of L.A. CAN, a predominately African-American organization led by, and for, homeless and very low-income residents living downtown

? Los Angeles Security Officer Campaign?currently the largest organizing campaign of Black workers in the country: Lead organizers of SEIU Local 1877

The Southern California Library has 400 archival collections, including photos, oral histories, personal papers, and printed matter documenting social change in Los Angeles, as well as thousands of books, periodicals, pamphlets, videos, and tapes. A significant number of the Library?s collections shed light on various aspects of Black L.A. history, including L.A.?s Black Panther Party, Charlotta Bass and the California Eagle (the newspaper she ran for forty years), civil rights, housing, labor, and more.
