Friends of Southwest Museum: A Victory June 30

Posted by Cheryl Johnson
July 4th, 2009
Posted in Living in Northeast Los Angeles, NELA Living


As he walked across the country from Cincinnati to Los Angeles in 1884 and 1885, Charles Lummis, learned of the plight of Native Americans, and he became determined to raise the public's awareness of Native American life and culture.

In 1907 he began planning the Southwest Museum, which opened seven years later, in 1914.

In recent years, however, the museum struggled financially. Its directors agreed in 2003 to merge with the Autry Museum in Griffith Park,  an agreement that was to include the Autry making needed repairs to the Southwest Museum structures and  the Autry underwriting the smaller museum's operating costs of more than $100,000 a month.

But as local activists watched, concern grew that the Autry's long term plan was to remove the priceless collection of artifacts out of the Southwest Museum, and into a newly expanded Griffith Park location, reducing the Southwest to nothing more than meeting rooms.

On June 30, both sides:  Local activists, and Autry supporters met at Los Angeles City Hall for a showdown.

In a surprising development, City Councilman Jose Huizar said it was time for the Autry to reaffirm its commitment to the Southwest by agreeing to attach a legally binding document to a lease agreement the Autry is seeking in order to expand its Griffith Park Autry Museum. 

Thus making the preservation of the Southwest collection at the Southwest Museum a condition of the city's approval of the Autry's expansion plans in Griffith Park.

Good move, Mr. Huizar, thank you.

Sharing a Lummis Day Video

Posted in Living in Northeast Los Angeles, Lummis Day: Festival of Northeast Los Angeles, NELA Community Events


Sharing one of my Lummis Day Videos:

Carlos Guitarlos

Almost five thousand people representing the rainbow of cultures in Northeast L.A gathered for Lummis Day 2009, the 4th celebration of the annual multi-cultural festival, presented by the Autry National Center, the Annenberg Foundation and the neighborhood councils of Northeast L.A.

The Lummis Day Festival was created to celebrate the patchwork of cultures that enriches the city. Artists represented Latino, Tagalog, Native American, Anglo and African-American traditions. Music included blues, rock, banda, salsa, jazz and country. Dance troupes represented Philippine, Mexican, Pacific Island and jazz dance traditions. Poets, painters and culinary artists, all with local connections, added to the Festival's collection of cultures.

Lummis Day takes its name from Charles Fletcher Lummis, who joined the L.A. Times as the newspaper's first city editor in 1876. A prolific writer and photographer, Lummis was also one of the city's first librarians, founded the Southwest Museum and helped introduce the concept of multi-culturalism to Southern California.
