The Holiday Bowl features significantly in the memories of those who frequented the place and there were many who were touched by it enough to share their memories here. In addition to one-on-one interviews, this Project included many shared experiences. In consultation with the amazing and inspiring La'Tonya Rease Miles, the project was launched with a Lecture Series and Walking Tour where John Arroyo, John English, Matthew Haskins, Etta Hollins, Christopher Jimenez y West, Nina Revoyr (who read from her novel Southland), Josh Sides & Michael Steiner all gave generously of their time, expertise, and support in guiding these place-based forums and exercises. This site is an invitation to explore the history of the Holiday Bowl communities through specific subjects and issues: the history of postwar Los Angeles, the building and continuing evolution of the Crenshaw, the role of sports in negotiating culture and politics, as well as looking at different models of history and community.
