South Central Los Angeles is a historically Black region, due to racial covenants preventing Black renters and homeowners from living elsewhere in the county. Beginning in the 1980s, this region began to experience a demographic shift due to a dual displacement: that of Central Americans from their home countries due to US imperialist intervention, and that of Black Americans due to the dual prongs of dislocating public housing projects, and incoming waves of Central American migration. Our thick map aims to narrate the story of these dual displacements, and the structural elements that caused them.
