Beautiful and imaginative animations. As a native Angeleno I need to educate myself more on this. It's such a prime piece of real estate. I get why the city wanted to seize it . I just wish the city had been more square with the home owners, given them a good alternative.
Chavez Ravine 1949 - A Los Angeles Story is an amazing, heart breaking book. Huge number of pictures of Chavez Ravine with interviews of the residents. Also, an album by Ry Cooder, tells a touching musical story. He brought in Lalo Guerrero who did his last recording for this album.
While I cover MLB and have traveled to Chavez Ravine many times to cover the Dodgers I would trade all those times just to see the residents of Chavez Ravine live out there lives in this neighborhood and that no one would ever bother these people.
Union train station in Los Angeles was built by bulldozing most of Chinatown, mostly residences. At the time Chinatown was almost as big as the one in San Francisco but non-Chinese looked on it as a slum.
+steamfans That's right! Check out this article from our Neighborhood blog, Departures: www.kcet.org/socal/departures/chinatown/new-chinatown/new-chinatown-union-station.html "It was time for Los Angeles to build a top-notch train terminal, Union Station, and the decision was made to build right where Old Chinatown had stood from 1870 until the 1930's. In the same ways Latinos would later be displaced from Sonora Town and the Chavez Ravine during the construction of Dodger Stadium in the 1950s, Chinese Americans were displaced in the 1930's, "buried" so to speak under one of L.A.'s most iconic buildings, sometimes called the "last of the great railway stations." But also, check out the Chinatown hub: www.kcet.org/socal/departures/chinatown/ It's full of fascinating history and field guides for both old and new Chinatown.
Ya I remember I was 6 and remember them pulling the people out of the house and then bulldoze the home.also killed some of their animals . down the street from police academy very disturbing to me something I can never forget.
O'melly, I hope your happy where ever you are you took are dreams our hopes and families away, you were the owner of this night mere, it can't ever be replaced Chavez Ravine.
L.A. should have a Major League Baseball stadium. It’s an unfortunate reality that affordable land and a good location were necessary. Chavez Ravine offered both. Thousands of homes are condemned and razed every time a freeway is built. Most people accept this and get on with their lives.
This story isn’t the only one where Mexican’s were forcefully removed. When they built the 60 fwy, cut right through many neighborhoods and people were forcefully evicted just like with the Ravine. Very colorful and interesting history in the city of Angeles.
Do you know what your stadium 🏟️ AT&T Park was built on top of? Food for thought... before you go placing judgement on just one place or one single organization...we could get into this VERY DEEPLY all over AMERICA and ALL OVER THE WORLD...Look it up...I dare you... I'm going to look it up for myself this very moment. God Bless 🙏
A Harry Bosch book brought me here. I love southern California history. I don't love that this and other horrible events happened. I probably should say that I'm very interested in it. Great Video! Horrible event. Anybody know about a similar story in Carlsbad and Encinitas Ca? I've heard stories from people but can't find any info.
This is why I don’t like Chicano history month. It mostly highlights struggles that lead to accomplishments. The underdog kind of story that is uplifting. But never explore events that would serve and a learning lesson to all Americans. My dad grew up in Chavez Ravine before moving to Norco. Almost no one that I know who are “proud Chicanos” know anything about this but do attend Dodgers stadium games.
Hopefully this information reaches those interested in knowing more about the history of Chavez Ravine! East Los Angeles College will be performing the production of Chavez Ravine. This production will portray the life’s of the families who once lived in Chavez Ravine; and inform the public/audience of the affect of the Housing Authority Act of 1949. Including some known individuals (which will be characterized by actors) such as, the people from Chavez’s Ravine, Vin Scully (notorious sportscaster for the Los Angeles Dodgers), Frank Wilkinson (American activist who served as Executive Director of the National Committee and the site manager for the City Housing Authority for the city of Los Angeles), Richard Nuetra (Austrian-American architect for the sitting project of Chavez Ravine), and Norris Poulson (36th Mayor of Los Angeles). These are some of the many character that will be portrayed in the production of Chavez Ravine at East Los Angeles Community College. Location: 1301 Avenida Cesar Chavez Monterey Park, CA 91754 United States Theater Department( P2 building) Opening night will be on May 18, 2018 at 8pm. Unfortunately this play will only run for two weekends, with a total of 8 performance. So, contact me with any questions or thoughts that you have. Look forward in hearing from you! This is a chance to inform the public and tell a magnificent story!
Wouldnt it be wonderful if a mayor or city official would loose there home to eminent domain. Than the shoe could be on the other foot. How would there families feel? Kelo vs city of New London similar story to Chavez ravine. Destroying buildings is wasteful. Familes need to pass there homes down to there kids
As a Chicano, I recognize the legal abuses or chicanery since 1848 by settlers, in violation of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, all the way to Dodgers and Wilson's Prop 187, but politically actived Americans with any Mexican ancestry have worked since Chicano Mortitorium of 1970 to progress our state, now with Senior US Senator Padilla and World Series Champions with America's diversity... Arriba LOS Doyers! Go Dodgers! Somos Chicanos pero premiero Humano!
That's crappy. I never knew that because even though baseball is literally the only team sport I can stand, I just don't spend a lot of time thinking about any kind of sports.
I DIDN'T KNOW AND NOW I KNOW! It is happening today in European America. Stop evicting families. HOME IS WHERE OUR HEART IS! STOP THE GREEDY MONSTERS. A'ho!
Raymundo Gonzalez Most all of the land was bought up for Housing projects and then left dormant decades before being offered to the Dodgers. Unfair to blame baseball when it was a near-ghost town by 1958.

Did the City of Los Angeles and the Dodger’s organization ever apologize to the Latino community of Los Angeles for lying to them and forcefully displacing Latino people from Chavez Ravine telling them that they were going to build them a brand new community with parks that it was going to be a beautiful community,and what was their plan,well,there you have it,the Dodger’s stadium,there’s a school buried underneath the Dodger’s stadium,it came to my mind because I heard some people are boycotting the Dodger’s organization because the Gay people are preparing some sort of celebration they going to paint the field in rainbow colors and they’re going to have transgender performers dancing in skirts and painted all pretty and so some people are upset about that but nobody remembers about Chavez Ravine,I’ve been boycotting the Dodgers since before the gays came out of the closet,I will never set foot at the Dodgers stadium,and good luck with the gay party.
Considering it used to literally be northern Mexico, I'd say it's always been like that. Only difference is that the Hispanics have more power nowadays.
So many proud Chicanos would rip the dodger jerseys right off of their backs if they knew this truth.
Where are they?
Thank you, this is a very important piece and history we should all know about.
The history lesson here is white people stay winning. Remember that.

Yeah well most of them are dead by now... so just sit in your white guilt because your whiteness caused all of this
If I were dodger fan I wouldn’t be that happy, saying hey I’m going to Chavez Ravine.
Very well crafted historical presentation. Thank you!

Breaks my heart
Wow very cool! Thank you!
Just got through the book "stealing home". Fascinating story. Great visual 👌🏼
Do you know where to get that book?
I bought it on Amazon...great read
I’m a Giants fan. This makes me hate the Dodgers organization even more. Who said life was fair? I feel for la raza who had to go through all that

This area was always known as La Loma, Palo Verde, and Bishop. It was never known as Chavez Ravine!
One of many reasons I no longer support professional sports.

They should play this at the Doyers stadium 😢
Same thing happened in Bunker Hill.

It should not surprise anybody. Been going on since the discovery by the spaniards!
True.
The ghost have not left yet .
These people were totally disrespected. 😭😭😭
Residents should have atleast got paid for the value of their property.

Without eminent domain though we would have no freeways.

The plan.was too build a baseball stadium
That is why I have lost interest in sports! These poor people were robbed by the government!
And now
those people are somewhere paying for the anguish they caused,
if it wasn't The Dodgers, it would have been someone else.
I DIDN'T KNOW AND NOW I KNOW!
It is happening today in European America.
Stop evicting families. HOME IS WHERE OUR HEART IS!
STOP THE GREEDY MONSTERS.
A'ho!
😔
As a Dodger fan and many of us being of Mexican decent I wonder how the Dodgers remember and pay respect to Chavez Ravine
They say thanks fellas
They don't. FTD
🥺🥺🥺
The residents of San dimas canyon were burned out of their homes in 2002.
This injustice is something indigenous native Americans can certainly attest to. Stolen land.
There’s actually a story on why the housing was cancelled and Dodgers took it over
Was it because it was a lie from the start?!🤷🏻♀️
You. You there. Get out.
☝️😐👍
This is happening in houston
How anyone could be a dodgers fan is mind boggling! Especially all those so called social justice warriors....smh.
They called it black friday but erbody loves a sale 😲🤐
And to think, most Dodger fans are mexican smh.
So true.
It’s always about more tax money for politicians. They never have enough.
Nah. Not a town called Chavez Ravine. Not city was at work and more. /
cool! GO DODGERS!
Paisa Drummer Right Fuck Anaheim!
La Loma, Palo Verde, and Bishop. The three communities in Chavez Ravine betrayed by promises of do-gooder government.
that's the reason I'm all against the dodgers

1981 Fernando Mania is born! 🇲🇽⚾️
Mexican, Mexican-American forgave the Dodgers in 1981.
Sellouts.
This is why dodgers Didint win the world series in 2017 . They coursed it
GO DODGERS!
Paisa Drummer and in 2018 😉😉, people died making miller park so is that why y’all beat us
Progressive elitism ruined Chavez Ravine.
Well i mean Los Angeles has become Mexico North so I guess they got the last laugh
Considering it used to literally be northern Mexico, I'd say it's always been like that. Only difference is that the Hispanics have more power nowadays.
It's originally Mexico's before it was stolen too
@@cynbarron731 it belonged to Spain before Mexico and before Spain the indigenous.
Shame
Boo hoo. Play ball!!
Pretty sad and not right
