Скачать или смотреть Japanese American Artist History at 800 Traction Ave

GPA Consulting, in applying on behalf of DLJ Real Estate Capital Partners for "Cultural-Heritage" status to the City of Los Angeles for the Joannes Building at 800 Traction Avenue attempted to downplay and effectively whitewash Japanese American and other artists' history from the building. Their aim is to be rewarded millions in tax write-offs for future renovation work on the building.

The residents, facing evictions with no compensation, asked why should they be rewarded for evicting people who have helped rejuvenate Little Tokyo into the cultural center it is today? Why should a developer be given a tax break for kicking out artists who helped to create the Arts District?

On December 7, 2017, this slideshow, along with many testimonials from artists and community organizations, refuted GPA/DLJ's attempts at erasure.
