Dear Friends,

On behalf of the City of Los Angeles, it is my pleasure to invite you to celebrate African American Heritage Month in Los Angeles.

Our City is home to people originating from all around the world. Each culture contributes to the rich diversity that makes Los Angeles an international capital.

This month we continue to honor our rich African American culture and highlight the work of artists who keep African American traditions alive and vibrant in our communities.

The Department of Cultural Affairs offers countless arts and cultural events for your enjoyment. Look to this calendar to find the numerous festivals, musicals events, theatrical performances, films, poetry readings, and cultural activities in your neighborhood.

I encourage you to take part in the special events listed throughout these pages, and welcome you into our Neighborhood Arts and Cultural Centers to celebrate African
American Heritage Month.

I extend my best wishes for a memorable celebration.

Very truly yours,
Antonio R. Villaraigosa
Mayor
