Special emphasis is placed upon those organizations and agencies which are based in, or are most relevant to, the South Central and East Los Angeles communities, although organizations located in other regions are included where they fit general guidelines for inclusion. The present edition is as reasonably up-to-date as possible in a city like Los Angeles. As in the previous editions, we have classified all such organ- izations and agencies by the areas of Greater Los Angeles (identical with the County of Los Angeles) in which they are located or which they primarily serve, and by the major type of activity or service in wh ich each one is engaged. This enables the user to locate each listing both by the nature and purpose of the organization and by its primary geographical area. A description of the sixteen area boundaries follows. The format of this new edition differs somewhat from that of previous editions. The first, and major, part of this Directory (Chapters I - XIII) updates the listings for those organizations included in the previous edition, omitting all organizations and agencies which we were unable to contact. The second part (Chapter XIV) lists those existing organizations which were not included in the previous edition, categorized in the same way as those previously listed. Blank pages are supplied at the end of Chapter XIV for listing additional organizations. As before, we have made references to job training programs conducted by schools, community organizations, or other agencies under the provisions of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) of 1982. Listings of such programs in this Directory are limited to those organizations funded through the City of Los Angeles for the Program year 1983-1984 only. Users of this Directory are reminded that funding for training programs varies from year to year, and that there are seven 'Service Delivery Areas' within Los Angeles County, other than the City of Los Angeles, which also are empowered to fund job training programs for residents of their specific areas. Current information on these various programs may be obtained by contacting the agencies listed on pages 112 and 113 in this Directory. Although the major social service agencies and organizations in Greater Los Angeles are included in this Directory, a particular effort has been made to cover types of organizations which often are excluded from other directories, specifically artistic and cultural, neighborhood improvement, business assistance, social and fraternal, and communications fields. Again, emphasis has been placed on those agencies which serve or especially relate to minority communities. v vi For a more comprehensive listing of social service and similar agencies, users of this Directory are referred to the Cunity Resources Information Bank (CRIB), maintained by the Department of Public Social Services of the County of Los Angeles. Helpful listings of agencies and services also are available from the United Way and from individual members of the Los Angeles City Council and/or Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. Information on the key City Council members, including addresses and phone numbers, is included in this Directory. We are well aware that there are inevitable omissions or mistakes in any listing of this type. Undoubtedly a number of worthy organizations have been missed, and we apologize to those so omitted. We request that any such omissions, as well as new and supplementary entries, be called to our attention. In addition, we hope that organizations listed will inform us imediately whenever changes in listings occur. We anticipate that revisions or supplements will be issued in the future. Our mailing address is: Institute of Industrial Relations, UCLA, 405 Hilgard Avenue, Los Angeles 90024. We regret that limitations of space and staff again have re- quired us to omit certain categories of organizations. For example, we have not listed political clubs, churches, or parent-teacher associations (except in a few instances where we knew of special community-service or action programs, administered by the organiza- tion, which are particularly relevant to minority communities). Also, we have generally omitted listings for profitmaking busi- nesses, except in a few cases where a business may conduct voca- tional or related training under the provisions of the Job Training Partnership Act. In light of the fact that the Institute receives no special funding for the preparation of this Directory and must depend on internal staff resources which are intermittently or irregularly available for the project, several months invariably elapse between the time of receipt of information from organizations and the actual publication date. Of course, many changes can occur even in this relatively short period. Keith Solomon and Baird Mitchell, students at the University of California, San Diego, and University of California, Los Angeles, .respectively, at the time of their service with the Institute, obtained much of the necessary information from the agencies and organizations listed. Sharon Geltner, of the Institute's Publica- tions Center was responsible for the technical editing of the Direc- tory. Margaret Zamorano, of the Institute's staff, accomplished the prodigious task of processing the entire text. Jane Abelson, Administrator of the Publications Center, also assisted in the final preparation of the Directory for publication. Ann igXInDtIEs For the purpose of this Directory, Los Angeles County has been divided into 16 geographical areas containing the listings of com- munity services organizations. Areas 1-15 have specific boundaries drawn according to their geographic locations. Area 16 is a "catch- all" area, containing listings which are scattered throughout Los Angeles County or, in a few cases, Orange County, and are not in- cluded in Areas 1-15. In cases in which the headquarters or the main office of an organization is located in one geographical area and branches or affiliated offices are located in one or several of the other areas, we have listed all offices of the organization in the geographical area of the main office, but have identified the appropriate area for such branches or affiliates by showing area numbers next to branch office addresses. For example, "Area 4" next to the address listed for a local area office of the County's Department of Public Social Services means that that particular office is located in Area 4. A short description of the boundaries of each area is given below. AREA 1 - Eastern Area: Includes Boyle Heights, Belvedere, City Terrace, and unicorporated areas of East Los Angeles, and the cities of Monterey Park and Montebello. Boundaries are the San Bernardino Freeway on the north and Washington Blvd. on the south; Alameda Street on the west and eastern city limits of Monterey Park and Montebello on the east. AREA 2 - North Central: Includes the North Broadway area, Lincoln Heights, El Sereno, Monterey Hills, and part of Highland Park. Boundaries are the Pasadena Freeway and Arroyo Seco Park on the north and the San Bernardino Freeway on the south; Pasadena Freeway on the west and the western city limits of Alhambra and South Pasadena on the east. AREA 3 - Central: Downtown Los Angeles and area immediately to the west of downtown. Boundaries are Sunset Blvd. on the north and Washington Blvd. on the south; Alameda Street on the east and Crenshaw Blvd. south of Wilshire and Western Avenue north of Wilshire on the west. AREA 4 - South Central East: Boundaries are Washington Blvd. on the north and Imperial Highway on the south; Alameda Street on the east and the Harbor Freeway on the west. AREA 5 - South Central West: Boundaries are Washington Blvd. on the north and Imperial Highway on the south; Harbor Freeway on the east and Crenshaw Blvd. and the eastern city limits of Inglewood on the west. vii viii AR 6 - West Central Area: Boundaries are Wilshire Blvd. on the north and the northern limits of Inglewood on the south; Crenshaw Blvd. on the east and La Cienega Blvd. on the west.

  • Private Conflict, Local Organizations, and Mobilizing Ethnic Violence In
    Private Conflict, Local Organizations, and Mobilizing Ethnic Violence in Southern California Bradley E. Holland∗ Abstract Prominent research highlights links between group-level conflicts and low-intensity (i.e. non-militarized) ethnic violence. However, the processes driving this relationship are often less clear. Why do certain actors attempt to mobilize ethnic violence? How are those actors able to mobilize participation in ethnic violence? I argue that addressing these questions requires scholars to focus not only on group-level conflicts and tensions, but also private conflicts and local violent organizations. Private conflicts give certain members of ethnic groups incentives to mobilize violence against certain out-group adversaries. Institutions within local violent organizations allow them to mobilize participation in such violence. Promoting these selective forms of violence against out- group adversaries mobilizes indiscriminate forms of ethnic violence due to identification problems, efforts to deny adversaries access to resources, and spirals of retribution. I develop these arguments by tracing ethnic violence between blacks and Latinos in Southern California. In efforts to gain leverage in private conflicts, a group of Latino prisoners mobilized members of local street gangs to participate in selective violence against African American adversaries. In doing so, even indiscriminate forms of ethnic violence have become entangled in the private conflicts of members of local violent organizations. ∗Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, The Ohio State University, [email protected].

  • AFSC and the Poor People's Campaign of 1968 Gordon Mantler
    Partners in Justice and Peace: AFSC and the Poor People’s Campaign of 1968 Gordon Mantler, Ph.D. University Writing Program The George Washington University (INTRO SLIDE) On December 4, 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. formally announced a much- anticipated program of mass civil disobedience that was aimed at forcing the federal government to rededicate itself to the War on Poverty. The Southern Christian Leadership Conference, King stated, would launch a Poor People’s Campaign to dramatize poverty in the United States by leading “waves of the nation’s poor and disinherited to Washington, D.C. … to secure at least jobs or income for all.” During the following spring, “we will be petitioning our government for specific reforms and we intend to build militant nonviolent actions until that government moves against poverty.”i At the heart of the plan was King’s notion of “militant nonviolence,” illustrated through a series of planned marches, rallies, demonstrations, and sit-ins designed to tie up federal agencies and Congress – all emanating from a central, semi-permanent campout of poor people on the National Mall called Resurrection City.ii If such “massive dislocation” failed to move decision-makers in Washington, then demonstrators would take their protests home to cities and smaller communities across the country, as well as to the two major party political conventions that summer. One way or another, King promised, the poor would be acknowledged in the richest nation in the world. (PPC SLIDE) 1 King’s vision of an “army of the poor” was ambitious, to say the least, because it sought nothing less than the transformation of an already-evolving black freedom struggle into a genuine national movement of, by, and for poor people.

  • North American Artists' Groups, 1968–1978 by Kirsten Fleur Olds A
    Networked Collectivities: North American Artists’ Groups, 1968–1978 by Kirsten Fleur Olds A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History of Art) in The University of Michigan 2009 Doctoral Committee: Professor Alexander D. Potts, Chair Professor Matthew N. Biro Associate Professor Rebecca Zurier Assistant Professor Kristin A. Hass © Kirsten Fleur Olds All rights reserved 2009 To Jeremy ii Acknowledgments This dissertatin truly resembles a “third mind” that assumed its own properties through collaborations at every stage. Thus the thanks I owe are many and not insignificant. First I must recognize my chair Alex Potts, whose erudition, endless patience, and omnivorous intellectual curiosity I deeply admire. The rich conversations we have had over the years have not only shaped this project, but my approach to scholarship more broadly. Moreover, his generosity with his students—encouraging our collaboration, relishing in our projects, supporting our individual pursuits, and celebrating our particular strengths—exemplifies the type of mentor I strive to be. I would also like to acknowledge the tremendous support and mentorship provided by my committee members. As I wrote, I was challenged by Rebecca Zurier’s incisive questions—ones she had asked and those I merely imagined by channeling her voice; I hope this dissertation reveals even a small measure of her nuanced and vivid historicity. Matt Biro has been a supportive and encouraging intellectual mentor from my very first days of graduate school, and Kristin Hass’sscholarship and guidance have expanded my approaches to visual culture and the concept of artistic medium, two themes that structure this project.

Orozco This essay is an assessment of the literature on Mexican -origin women's participation in voluntary associations and politics in the nineteenth and twentieth century. In making this assessment, I will: l) discuss conceptual problems in the literature; 2) explain why there is a paucity of research on the topic; 3) examine racial, gender, and sexuality ideologies to explain these gaps; 4) point to these ideologies in the current literature; and 5) provide directions for reconceptualizing the study of Mexican- origin women in organizational life. Attention will be given to heterosexual women and lesbians in mixed -gender organizations, and associations composed entirely of women. In 1967, when historian Kaye Lynn Briegel began her thesis on Mexican American political associations, she noted that "it was curious" that she found only one article on Mexican American organizations in an academic journal.' Pre -1970 scholars, primarily European - American men, had largely ignored la Raza.
