From the 1930s to the 1980s, Boyle Heights' the Phillips Music Co., "The House of Quality," was more than a music store or a record shop; it was a space for democracy. As a home to Mexican-Americans, Jewish-Americans, and Asian-Americans, Boyle Heights has historically been one of the great models of the mash-up that is Los Angeles identity, a neighborhood of new immigrants long celebrated for its heterogeneity and political community. Join us for a multimedia lecture that explores this rich musical and cultural history with USC professor Josh Kun.
