The Olmsted Brothers-designed square at the heart of Leimert Park, the centre of Black arts in LA, where neighbours gather for festivals, protests and vigils. Every Sunday afternoon drummers and dancers fill it in one of the city's longest-running drum circles, a tradition started with Ben Caldwell's KAOS Network.
