Greetings!
We have so much to share with you from LA Civil Rights. Our small but hard-working team has been working non-stop to not only build this department, but also host community events, launch programs, and fight for inclusion, equity and justice for all.
As African-American Heritage Month comes to a close, I want to thank everyone who hosted an event, joined our social media campaign, or tuned in for one of our televised conversations. There's more African-American history than could ever fit into one month, and we know that history is still being made to this day.
So, to the history-makers, change agents and community leaders who continue to push forward - thank you. You are the people who lift up Los Angeles, and we could never do this work without you.
Keep the faith and keep the fight,
- Capri Maddox
Executive Director,
Civil + Human Rights and Equity Department
