THE POWER OF PLACE, a non‐profit corporation founded by the author, sponsored public history projects focused on women of color in the historic cultural landscapes in Los Angeles. Between 1984 and 1991, teams of historians and artists worked to commemorate an African American midwife's homestead and a hall used by Latina garment workers as part of a larger itinerary of downtown labor history.
