Love is Living Large in Los Angeles

“Love is Living Large in Los Angeles” opened September 4, 2010 in conjunction with the recognized birthday for the founding of the pueblo of Los Angeles: September 4, 1871. This exhibit focuses on different individuals who contributed to building community across Southern California history and includes an exhibit dedicated to activists, athletes, artists, business leaders, writers, lawyers, preservationists, workers and other individuals who “lived large” in Los Angeles by a life actively engaged towards building a better good.

Historian, songwriter and musician, Darryl Holter, performed on Saturday night as part of the opening reception. Holter has intertwined his research on Woodie Guthrie, Los Angeles and labor rights into academic writing and into music. His songs use the hitherto unpublished lyrics of Woodie Guthrie and are as relevant today as when they were written during the Depression. For more information visit http://darrylholter.com/.
