During Black History Month and beyond, Black artists, cinema and communities are at the forefront of museums and exhibits across Los Angeles. From legendary modern artists like Tupac and Spike Lee to traditional African art and rare signed books from renowned African American authors, Black history and culture is a true focal point of L.A.’s art scene.
