La Plaza De Cultura Y Artes.

I have been to La Plaza de Cultura y Artes a few times, each time to see a different exhibit of Mexican American history and art. It is free to the public and always has interesting displays of the historical contributions of the Mexican American in California. One exhibit that was of interest to me was the Mexican American baseball teams that were very active in the 50's in the Southwest. These baseball leagues were a big part of Sunday afternoons at the local parks in Boyle Heights. This exhibit brought back many old memories for me of watching my Dad play ball in these leagues. Another exhibit featured the Walk Outs of the high school students of the Los Angeles Unified School District in 1968. Every visit to this gem of a museum offers a glimpse of the history of Los Angeles and its ties to the Mexican American Culture. A must see not only for Latinos but for those visiting Los Angeles and those that live here! #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches
