Description

Black Firsts in Los Angeles shines a spotlight on more than 200 extraordinary achievements by Black Angelenos.
Black Firsts highlights the oft unheralded accomplishments of Black Angelenos which-despite their importance-are generally not included in school books or taught in classrooms. Organized into 83 areas of accomplishment alphabetically and chronologically, Black Firsts reviews the overlooked historic achievements of Black Angelenos in everything from:

Acting to AviationHamburger Queens to Hollywood CorrespondentsJanitors to JudgesQuarterbacks to Quilters; and, Yoga Teachers to Zoo Directors.
Many of the achievements discussed in Black Firsts represent the first of their kind in the United States; such as the first Black flight school. Other achievements represent Black firsts in the state of California; like the first Black Lieutenant Governor, and others still represent Black firsts in the city of Los Angeles; like the first Black person on the Los Angeles Housing Commission.
