  • CHAPTER M MONROVIA's DIVERSE BEGINNINGS Although
    c 45 CHAPTER m MONROVIA'S DIVERSE BEGINNINGS Although encountering school segregation was a new experience for AImera Romney when she came to Huntington School in 1946, it was not new to Monrovia-- or to most other Southern California communities. Monrovia's unwritten history of racial separation and discrimination was in fact typical of both the era and of California as a whole. 1 While the particulars of its educational history were distinctive, Monrovia reflected Southern California's continuing struggle to corne to terms with an enormously diverse school population. Monrovia, however, unlike many of its newer neighboring communities. included persons of color from its earliest years. Monrovia's Origins The townsite of Monrovia lies approximately twenty miles east and slightly north of downtown Los Angeles, in the northeast quadrant of Los Angeles County. 1 Irving G. Hendrick, The Education of Non-Whites in California. 1949-1970 (San Francisco: R & E Associates, 1977), 98; Charles Wollenberg, All Deliberate Soeed: Segregation and Exclusion in California Schools. 1855-1915 (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1976), chap. 7. 46 The land was originally part of the holdings of the San Gabriel Mission, established by Spanish Franciscan fathers in 1771. The northeastern part of the mission valley was a "vast oak-covered area known since early days as Santa Anita," which sloped on its northern boundaries up into the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains.2 The lands that would be incorporated as Monrovia a half-century later came into the United States in 1848 as parts of two ranchos, the Santa Anita and the Azusa de Duarte.

Few areas on the face of the earth have witnessed changes as great as those made in California in the past 200 years. From an insignificant colony on the perimeter of the tremendous Spanish Empire in the New World, California has emerged as one of the most famous and significant spots on the entire globe -- a far cry from its humble beginnings in 1769. Of all the areas settled by Spain in North, Central and South America, California has undergone the greatest transformation. Not only has the state become first in population of the 50 United States of America, but several of its counties and cities are among the first in population and affluence as The Indians of Los Angeles County http://www.loc.gov/resource/calbk.007 well.

The evaluation and determination made by the Historic Preservation Commission is in the form of approval of a DPR Form which includes the assignment of a CHRS code. The determination made by the Commission using the CHRS codes is the first step in the process and will be part of the overall evaluation of the “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

We think of them waiting for the call to arms, Fighting to save their families and farms; We picture the furrow where the dropped plough lies, The women watching them go with quiet eyes. Is it because they died so many springs Ago that we forget the other things They did from day to day? They must have wept, Laughed, talked of the future. I think they kept Their dreams tended as gently as their corn, And planned great things for children yet unborn. And as I watch the spring unfold each year, I think that they held beauty almost as dear As freedom. The battle won, they heeded her command, And planted dogwood in their promised land.

  • WELCOME to the ARBORETUM Self-Guided Walking Tour
    WELCOME TO THE ARBORETUM Self-Guided Walking Tour Occupying the heart of the historic Rancho Santa Anita, The Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Garden is a unique 127 acre historical museum and botanic garden located in the city of Arcadia. Home to plant collections from all over the world, including many rare and endangered species, the Arboretum also houses outdoor historical landmarks representative of the major phases of California history. The Arboretum is also an animal sanctuary. In addition to The Arboretum’s famous peafowl, visitors will see species of resident and migratory birds, aquatic creatures, as well as numerous species of small reptiles and mammals. The Arboretum peafowl roaming the grounds are descendants of two pairs imported by “Lucky” Baldwin from India in the 1880’s and are considered wild animals. Males (peacocks) have a bright blue neck, but only during the mating season do they display their long trains. They lose their tail feather at the end of the summer and grow them back every spring, much like deer lose their antlers and regrow them annually. Both peacocks and the brown-colored peahens (females) can fly short distances, often roosting high in trees at night. Please stay at least 10-15 feet away from peafowl for your safety as they are wild animals. Please do not touch, chase, or feed any of the animals you see in the garden. When you feed Arboretum animals you are giving them the wildlife equivalent of junk food. Rather than eating a variety of natural foods, they become dependant on processed foods that are not a part of their natural diet.

  • Canal Context and Evaluation Procedures
    WATER CONVEYANCE SYSTEMS IN CALIFORNIA Historic Context Development and Evaluation Procedures Prepared Jointly by: JRP Historical Consulting Services California Department of Transportation 1490 Drew Avenue, Suite 110 Environmental Program/Cultural Studies Office Davis, CA 95616 Sacramento, CA 95814 December 2000 © 2000 California Department of Transportation. All Rights Reserved. December 2000 Water Conveyance Systems in California ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This report reflects the contributions of many individuals. Its strengths can be attributed to the diverse professional backgrounds and experiences of two multidisciplinary teams, one from the private sector and one from state service. John Snyder of the Caltrans Cultural Studies Office in Sacramento was responsible for the vision that prompted the study, and he oversaw the contract with JRP Historical Consulting Services to produce the initial document. JRP staff, including Jeff Crawford, Rand Herbert, Steve Mikesell, Stephen Wee, and Meta Bunse authored the draft report under that contract. In June 1995, JRP submitted the manuscript to Caltrans, completing their responsibilities under the contract. JRP’s excellent work constitutes the body of this report, with subsequent work by Caltrans staff to meet additional needs not foreseen in the original contract. Caltrans Cultural Studies Office staff Thad Van Bueren, Dorene Clement, Greg King, Gloria Scott, and Laurie Welch contributed to the revisions and preparation of supplementary material, while Kendall Schinke assisted with graphics production. Throughout the process, Meta Bunse and other staff at JRP Historical Consulting Services cooperated in the revisions and rendered invaluable assistance, particularly with regard to the conversion of electronic files. The authors gratefully acknowledge the many professional colleagues who shared their expertise and suggestions during the formulation of this study.
