The New Los Angeles, Miguel Contreras Warrior for Working Familes

4/30/2006

The New Los Angeles paints a portrait of an extraordinary city poised to reframe America's dialogue about urban political and economic change. This powerful documentary takes the viewer on a journey from the bitterly fought, racially driven elections that brought Mayor Tom Bradely to power in 1973, to the historic 2005 election of LA's first Latino mayor in more than 130 years.

This video features Miguel Contreras and the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor.
