Japanese American National Museum

The Japanese American National Museum and several area organizations (International Institute of Los Angeles, Jewish Historical Society of Southern California, Self-Help Graphics, and Theodore Roosevelt Senior High School) have created a partnership to engage a diverse cross-section of people in the documentation and interpretation of a neighborhood's history. “Boyle Heights: Neighborhood Sites and Insights,” will promote lasting intercultural relations and linkages between organizations and communities. Project activities will include a photo collection day, oral history interviews, an exhibition, neighborhood workshops, a lecture series, and a symposium. Project results will be disseminated though a Web site, a community partnership guidebook, and presentations at conferences.
