A pocket park on the site of the homestead of Biddy Mason, who was born enslaved, won her freedom in a Los Angeles court in 1856 and became one of the first Black women to own land in the city. A long timeline wall with artwork, inscriptions and embedded objects tells her story, a quiet stop that most visitors walking Broadway never notice.
