Dodgers Blues

Dodgers Blues

In a city full of Dodger fans, many Angelenos have a unique story tied to the famous Dodger Stadium. But underneath the iconic baseball stadium is an often-overlooked history of community resilience and pain. Eminent domain failed promises of public housing, forced removal, and the erasure of three thriving Mexican American communities - Palo Verde, La Loma, and Bishop -  are all a part of the Dodger Stadium story. Listen to two direct descendants share their traumatic family histories of being forcibly removed from Palo Verde, the community now buried under Dodger Stadium.
