What was it like on Olvera Street in 1970? Here's a snapshot. 📷

In Every Minute Is History: Five Views of Los Angeles, discover the work of five photographers—Laura Aguilar, Reynaldo Rivera, George Rodríguez, Patssi Valdez, and Ricardo Valverde—and how their distinct approaches helped expand traditional representations of Chicano/a communities in Los Angeles during the second half of the 20th century.
