A story about baseball, family, the American Dream, and the fight to turn Los Angeles into a big league city. Dodger Stadium is an American icon. But the story of how it came to be goes far beyond baseball. The hills that cradle the stadium were once home to vibrant Mexican American communities.
Before Dodger Stadium could be built, the city would have to face down the neighborhood's families. The confrontation captivated the nation - and the divisive outcome still echoes through Los Angeles today.
The discussion will be hosted on Zoom.
