Divided Development and the Struggle for Housing Justice in Los Angeles uses archival materials from the UCLA Library Digital Collections to illustrate histories of communities formed, contested, and reshaped amid discriminatory citywide development campaigns. Photographs, contemporary print ephemera, maps, local musical recordings, and oral history recordings held by UCLA help to recount housing struggles in the mid-20th-century through the experiences of two key families––the Aréchiga family in the Palo Verde neighborhood of the Chavez Ravine and the Laws family in South Los Angeles.
