Celebrate with Sustainable Little Tokyo during the culminating event of its Windows of Little Bronze Tokyo project. See visual artwork by Carey Westbrook and Miki Yokoyama, listen to community interviews by documentarian and storyteller Bobby Buck, and enjoy a performance by Wayne Hoggatt in collaboration with jazz musicians and Japanese taiko and West African drummers.

Inspired by the Little Tokyo’s Bronzeville era, the Windows of Little Bronze Tokyo project commissioned five local artists and engaged the Little Tokyo and Skid Row communities in learning about the historic era of Bronzeville. When Japanese Americans were forcibly removed and incarcerated during World War II, African Americans facing racist restrictions in other parts of Los Angeles moved into the neighborhood and infused it with jazz and other forms of culture. Both communities have a shared history of displacement, discrimination, perseverance, and power—and a shared hope for more solidarity to continue to be built in years ahead. This project deepening relationships between the Little Tokyo and Skid Row communities and broader Asian American and Black communities.
