Grand Performances

From the 1930s to the 1980s, The Phillips Music Co. of Boyle Heights 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 USC professor Josh Kun for a multi-media lecture that explores this rich musical and cultural history.

This project was made possible with support from the California Council for the Humanities, an independent non-profit organization and a partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities. For more information, visit www.calhum.org
