This initiative highlights the area's rich history as a haven for Black families since the 1960s and aims to uplift its unique community spirit, especially in the wake of recent climate-related challenges affecting everyone in the region.
The Land Memories project serves as an ode to Altadena, highlighting the town's rich history as a creative space for Black families since the 1960s and 70s.
