Episode: 'They've been wiped out:' Black Altadena vows to rebuild
Description: Altadena had one of Los Angeles's first and proudest middle class Black communities, which has been almost entirely wiped from the map. We discuss the history of that community and how it will come back from this. The country's first aviation disaster in 16 years reverberates all the way to SoCal. Firefighters find themselves short pay in their checks. The L.A. Local is sponsored by the LA Car Guy family of dealerships.
