By City News Service Apr 15, 2021 LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Mayor Eric Garcetti today released the findings of a group his office created to help guide Los Angeles on how to commemorate tragic and difficult aspects of the city's history. The Civic Memory Working Group -- made up of over 40 historians, architects, artists, indigenous leaders, city officials, scholars and cultural leaders -- worked with community leaders, including L.A City/County Native American Indian Commission's Executive Director Alexandra Valdes, to create civic memory recommendations in its 166-page report. The group recommends the city commemorate difficult histories, including through a citywide, ephemeral and permanent commemoration to victims of the 1871 Anti-Chinese Massacre on Oct. 24, 2021, the 150th anniversary of the day in which 500 white and Hispanic people robbed and murdered 19 Chinese residents.
