The Coveted Westside explores the middle-class African American-led movement to challenge housing discrimination, gain equal access to twentieth-century Los Angeles, and ward off resegregation.  Black professionals, from actors to entrepreneurs to doctors, made the city's distinguished neighborhoods of West Adams Heights in the 1940s and the Crenshaw area, View Park, View Heights, and Windsor Hillsin the postwar era hubs in the fight for fair housing.
