Peace in the Northeast March

Fri, Aug 22, 2008

The good folks from The Wall Las Memorias Project uploaded these two short videos of last Saturday’s Peace in the Northeast March. There was a large turnout, and the march was well received.

Sadly, even as the marchers were moving along York Boulevard, a shooting went down a few blocks away on Avenue 60.

I am not naive enough to believe that the answer can be found in speeches, or meetings, or even marches.

So what is the answer?

Is it in ALZA’s words: “Don’t you care? Act like you care.”

How do you say “It’s just not cool to shoot people.”

Celebrating Northeast Los Angeles

The historic, eclectic and diverse communities of Northeast Los Angeles grew from the gentle valley and hillsides along the Arroyo Seco, stretching in between Downtown Los Angeles and Pasadena.

The neighborhoods are now cross-cultural and dynamic, but their much of their character can traced to Arts and Crafts movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The Arts and Crafts Movement celebrated individualism, creativity and pride of craftsmanship as a rebuttal to the Industrial Revolution , and as a counterpoint to Victorian formality.

The spirit of the Arts and Crafts Movement continues today as a vital and thriving Arts Community rooted in Northeast Los Angeles.
