On July 3, Newsweek published ACHP Chair Sara Bronin’s op-ed on the need to restore Lahaina’s Native Hawaiian cultural sites following last year’s devastating wildfires.
Bronin writes: “Lahaina will rebuild… The crucial question is this: Can Lahaina rebuild in a way that honors and restores the Native Hawaiian history and heritage reflected in the destroyed sites and buildings?… I firmly believe it can and must.”

Located on Sunset Boulevard in the heart of Los Angeles, The Black Cat is a monument to the city’s pivotal role in the fight for LGB rights. When the modest Art Deco building was built in 1939, it originally housed a grocery store but by 1966, the building was a gay bar.

The Black Cat was meant to be a safe space for the gay community.
