In this year of racial reckoning, our first Save As interview explores sites of violence against people of color."Lurking beneath empty lots, nondescript intersections, and even this city’s most stately landmarks are stories of strife and oppression, largely invisible," wrote recent graduate Jackson Loop in his master's thesis about preserving sites of racial conflict in Los Angeles.Jackson talks with producer Willa Seidenberg about the 1943 Zoot Suit Riots, the 1969 police raid on the Black Panthers' L.A. headquarters, and the 1992 uprising surrounding the vicious beating of Rodney King.Examining sites associated with these events underscores systemic flaws in the current, top-down process of preservation--as well as solutions emerging from the ground up.Why is it important to remember painful history, and how can we do it when the physical presence is erased?Connect with us on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn!
