Sounds like some kind of nut speaking

Confederate states bent toward education and affluence? No way, especially not of blacks! White confederates were not for educating blacks at all.

“Before WW1 Los Angeles’s black population was considerably more educated and affluent than other areas.” It still is!!! It may have been conservative in the early days, but LA was one of the few places in the country where blacks could find a hotel or restaurant that would take them in. Today, we are pretty well integrated in the middle and upper classes. Unfortunately, there is still a sizeable portion of the black population left out in the cold which has lead to high crime in some areas. It’s absurd to blame democrats. For what? For not doing more to help people? I agree!

I gotta speed this up.

Shouldn't an attorney be able to pronounce the words he says? You really really need an audio editor.

Why is the narrator slurring his words ?

I wonder whose house that was at 4:02 ? The prominent one in the background center left. I've seen it in another picture as well. Must have been torn down for the railway maybe ? ps, answered my own question 6:11

Wowwww thanks for sharing

Part of having him go plain crazy and unlocking his primal impulses is a result of speaking out just the right words. Yes, where to begin? Celestine Dessike's latest (go'ogle her) takes you by the hand if you really want to cut out all the guesswork and get him going!

Great commentary. As a native of Los Angeles I love LA history. Sad those in power are so indifferent to it

I love the gay voice of the host

Absolutely phenomenal video. I’m a huge history buff and I love old theater. You done this, so well thank you I also most definitely agree that the high school should be named after this amazing gentleman.

Flying Lizzards , I want money

Pe tro ni la!

Helman's life would make a great TV mini series about the growth of Los Angeles with Helman as the central character.

Grandma would take me to ride on Angels Flight. They had a jewelry store at 800 W 6th St

Great narrative. LA kills its history.

It’s amazing how l.a. destroyed a lot of its history.

Criminal 💔

My ancestors were the Bekins of Bekins Van & Storage - Milo had a photo album of many of the grand homes in pre depression LA - due to the fact that hey were moving furniture in and out of so many of them.

They moved all houses off bunker hill years ago..

Would " Beaudry"be pronounced "bow-dree"? I could be wrong, look how the English pronounce "Beauchamp" (beech-um). Great video.

I live in downtown LA and it’s easy to forget that there were even hills down here.

Before the hilltop could be built upon Prudence Beaudry (2-term LA Mayor 1874-1876) had to get water to it. Frustrated in his attempts to get the LA City Water Company involved he did it himself by pumping water from a spring a few miles east to reservoirs he had built at the top of the hill. Hill Street between 3rd & 4th has a unique standing in perhaps all of the U.S. - between 1900 and 1950, the west side of Hill was home to 10 health-related colleges - 1 medical, 1 naturopathic, 1 osteopathic (now UC-Irvine Medical College), 5 chiropractic (Now So Cal University of Health Sciences in Whittier), a 'liberal physician' university (later Emerson University), and the St Helena Sanitarium (now St Helena Hospital & Health Center). The northern part of Bunker Hill was called Fort Moore Hill; this was leveled in 1948 for the Hollywood Freeway which really doomed the whole hill. To improve the quality of your productions, you may want to verify the correct pronunciation of people, places, and things before making a recording.

May have relatives in Texarkana...

I belive some off his relatives worked in airline industry and tourist packages like Fun Jet, Sun Country, Sundune...

Any company mainly corporations paying under $10.00 / hour since early 1990's is breaking the law its wage slavery...😮fact ..

Need a lawyer thats willing to go to Supreme Court of not speak 3 da hand 🖐

Got one in Philadelphia ...Knob hill in San Francisco

THANK GOD FOR MODERN DAY FORENSICS, THE HAND FROM THE GRAVE SEEKS REVENGE WITH THE USE OF DNA!!!!

What a crime and a shame. All those beautiful mansions, houses, two-, three, and four-deckers, and apartment buildings all taken down by the wrecker's ball save for a few. And one was just painted; its owner clearly inspired by San Francisco's Alamo Square!

Why do you have such an annoying, dismissive, condescending tone of voice? You are impossible to listen to and obviously very jealous of the rich people you put down. Get psychological help.

Bunker Hill was often a backdrop for films both in its glory and its decay. Find an old LA film noir, you're probably going to find a Bunker Hill mansion.

Hi Karl, thank for a very interesting, fun and passionate historical video. I grew up on the hill just off Sunset between Dodger Stadium, Sunset, Chinatown and Echo Park of which all were walking distance from my house on the hill. I enjoyed your video but I must let you know that the way you pronounce Beaudry Avenue is not the way us native Angeleno’s pronounce it. It was always pronounced “Bowdry” with emphasis placed like this “Bow-dree”, first part is “bow” like a ribbon tied in a bow and not to bow when greeting someone. I don’t know why but everyone I grew up with in the neighborhood within a two mile radius pronounced it Bowdry. Now your pronunciation of it my be grammatically correct but it’s not correct for the natives of LA’s working class that actually lived, worked and walked the streets of old LA. Cheers to you my friend and I hope you find time to make some more historical videos about LA.

Narrator's annoying voice ruined it! 🤦

10:39 Dubois is pronounced Doo-boyz in the case of W.E.B. Dubois. Creole is pronounced "cree-ol." Ory is pronounced "oree." There is a different between marginalized and marginal. The word "marginalized" necessarily drops all sorts of relevant context and is not historically informative. It is a politically-charged short-cut term. As is the word "weird" in the context in which you use it. Your historical biases are unprofessional and probably have a lot to do with your chosen (distinctly un-American) legal occupation.

An absolute travesty that they erased such magnificent and beautiful homes. Such a damn shame!

this is wondeful

I love watching pictures of Los Angeles from way back when i first saw Angel Flight in a old 50s sci fi movie called The Indestructible Man Bunker Hill looked like a cool place to live.

Glad at least they reinstalled Angeles Flight and then fixed the safety issues later on. Made a point to take line whenever going to lunch at Grand Central Market. I’ve seen a couple of B&W films at the annual Film Noire festival that featured Bunker Hill in background shots. Epic loss to Los Angeles. PS - Although I only read about Bunker Hill, served two years at Long Beach Naval Station in late 1970s. Visited area in early 2023 and except for Navy mole, the place was an unrecognizable container yard.

LOST Angeles

A huge loss.

Keep making a great video, I enjoy watching. If I was you I would employ *Promo SM*.

Too bad the pictures are pretty chaotic regarding the speech.

Don’t forget about the Noirish Los Angeles posting board!

It looked like a beautiful neighborhood. What a disgrace to have destroyed it.

WOW! Karl, thank you for this presentation. I've lived in Chase Knolls Garden Apartments since 1974 and never heard any of this! A group of us tenants worked with City Council to save this property from being razed in 2000 for condos. We had heard how Joe Chase deeded the super block of his dairy farm to Notre Dame west of Sunnyslope for a school and subdivided his land from Riverside to Magnolia for new housing post WWII after he'd build Chase Knolls for returning veterans. Yes, there were rolling hills throughout this area and some still exist on this property. Wish my mom were still alive as she'd be absolutely fascinated with your research and historical presentation. It's truly tragic how his life and legacy has been treated - a true example of cultural erasure.

Where can I discuss unpaid wages with a real Job Lawyer?
