Talk:Baldwin Hills, Los Angeles

message: Baldwin Hills is not highly ethnically diverse, it's highly monoethnic.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:6F:8E04:9701:21E:C2FF:FEAC:D9E8 (talk) 13:48, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Would a place that is 80% white be described as "highly diverse"? 

message: 1948 is indeed the watershed year in many cities' history for desegregation because SCOTUS, in its ruling on Shelley v. Kraemer, barred state enforcement of segregation covenants.  While a white family could still refuse to sell to a black homeowner until 1964, Shelley essentially froze enforcement of deed covenants.  As most of you are well aware, I'm sure, "block-busting" (and resulting white flight) started well before 1964 in most American cities.  See JimCrowHistory.org for more details.
:Is there a direct tie-in with the history of Baldwin Hills? Was it under restrictive covenants? Thanks -Willmcw 06:41, May 24, 2005 (UTC)
::Indeed there is, given the above comments--there wasn't a neighborhood south of the 10 and east of the 405 that wasn't experiencing at least the beginning stages of white flight by 1964, when the official ban on segregation covenants came down.  Restrictive covenants were the norm in pretty much every residential development in Los Angeles until that time.
:::So should this go into the History of Los Angeles, California? -Willmcw 20:24, May 26, 2005 (UTC)
I don't think there's any part of Baldwin Hills that's not African-American majority. The Village Green may have more whites than other areas of Baldwin Hills but it's definitely black majority. The closest area to Baldwin Hills with a large number of whites would be Culver City (which is merely white plurality not white majority)71.106.209.163 (talk) 08:17, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

message: The article at present has a paragraph on the 1963 dam disaster. I was going to improve it with additional material, but on reflection I think it deserves its own article. Unless there are really convincing objections, I plan to do that, and replace the dam disaster paragraph with a sentence and reference to the separate article. I also plan to confirm the source of the dam photos, to meet Wikipedia image status requirements, and then move them to the new article. (I lived in Baldwin Hills from 1960-1964, and was there for the dam disaster - we evacuated to a relative's house, and ours turned out to be undamaged.) If I can find some original photos my parents and I took they can be scanned and contributed. --MCB 22:57, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

message: I removed Category:Planned cities from the article. Baldwin Hills was not a planned city; the vast majority of it is simply an ordinary urban residential neighborhood. The only "planned" aspect would be the Village Green development, which was innovative in its design, but (1) it's a small part of Baldwin Hills as a whole, and (2) it is not at all a true planned city in that it is only a housing development, and lacks commercial, retail, office, or industrial districts.

message: The multi-talented Elfman family, including Emmy Award winning author Blossom Elfman, and her sons, Acadamey Award nominated film composer Danny Elfman and his brother director Richard Elfman, grew up in Baldwin Hills. Also, Andy Lipkis, the founder of the L.A. based urban reforestation organization TreePeople, grew up there as well. We all attended Baldwin Hills Elementary School.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.168.70.193 (talk) 04:38, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
