South Los Angeles has achieved an extraordinary milestone with the California Arts Council’s unanimous vote to officially designate the area as the state’s first ever Black Cultural District.

Welcome! I’m Senator Lola Smallwood-Cuevas, and I’m honored to represent nearly one million residents in the 28th Senate District, one of California’s most diverse regions in Los Angeles. I spent more than two decades working as a labor organizer and civil rights activist before my election to the State Senate. It is my privilege to serve California’s residents by presenting legislation that will create a more equitable economy for working families.
Sincerely,
South Los Angeles has achieved an extraordinary milestone with the California Arts Council’s unanimous vote to officially designate the area as the state’s first ever Black Cultural District.
I am pleased to share the first installment of my new newsletter series focused on the top priorities for our district. Over the coming months, I will provide updates, background information, and opportunities for community engagement as we move major projects forward.
