(The Center Square) – Thanks to $2.5 million in state funding, southern Los Angeles may get a new Black cultural district, according to one of L.A.’s state senators.

Sen. Lola Smallwood-Cuevas (D-Los Angeles) secured the funding earlier this year after the Legislature approved the money for the establishment of the Black cultural district, according to Smallwood-Cuevas’s communications director.
