KTLA Celebrates Black History Month - Exploring L.A.'s historic Crenshaw District

The African American experience is as old and rich as America itself, but much of this history is only known to a few, or even overlooked entirely.
This KTLA special broadcast is dedicated to sharing the impact of Black history on Southern California. We explore the Renaissance of the Historic Crenshaw District, the Black Maternal Mortality Crisis and we introduce our audience to Black educators, philanthropists and artists.

Shirley Raines is awesome! She's not a judgmental hater. She's a real angelic being. She's putting smiles on so many people's faces. You can tell by this story. 💯
