California History Movie Night: Long Beach, and a few old favorites
Walking thru the Valley of Heart's Delight & Hiking Around
Details
Each week we've been gathering to learn something about California's rich and interesting history -- for a little over 15 years. We began meeting online during Covid, and have continued to do so as we gained viewers from different states and countries.
This week we'll be learning about Long Beach. After searching extensively about Long Beach's very early history and finding almost nothing, it seems possible it just falls under the category of older Los Angeles history. We'll try to figure that out.

Sadly and inexplicably, over the past few weeks we have had technical troubles and difficulty in sharing videos with everyone at the same time.
In case we encounter such hassles again, we'll watch each movie simultaneosuly but separately, and then rejoin the Zoom meeting to talk about it. Therefore, the list of links you might need are listed below -- but please join us through the regular meeting link above to start:
