The L.A. Conservancy is pleased to present People + Places: A Virtual Conversation Series, bringing together advocates, experts, community members, and others to discuss the people and places that make Los Angeles special.

Together, we’ll unpack topics like culturally historic sites and the threats they face, architects who overcame adversity to change the L.A. landscape, legacy businesses and the people who run and love them, or the impact of historic spaces on a community’s health and identity. Nothing is off the table during these candid discussions.
