Now fifty years old, Dodger Stadium has become a Los Angeles landmark, steeped in baseball nostalgia and traffic angst. But the Dodgers' recent change of ownership has brought new attention to the real estate possibilities associated with the team's hilltop perch, reminding us that before the land served as home to athletes in white-and-blue jerseys, it was the site of a thriving Mexican American community named Chavez Ravine.

I feel sad 😔 watching this video...it’s so heartbreaking.
So many proud Chicanos would rip the dodger jerseys right off of their backs if they knew this truth.
Beautiful and imaginative animations. As a native Angeleno I need to educate myself more on this. It's such a prime piece of real estate. I get why the city wanted to seize it . I just wish the city had been more square with the home owners, given them a good alternative.
Chavez Ravine 1949 - A Los Angeles Story is an amazing, heart breaking book. Huge number of pictures of Chavez Ravine with interviews of the residents. Also, an album by Ry Cooder, tells a touching musical story. He brought in Lalo Guerrero who did his last recording for this album.
While I cover MLB and have traveled to Chavez Ravine many times to cover the Dodgers I would trade all those times just to see the residents of Chavez Ravine live out there lives in this neighborhood and that no one would ever bother these people.
Yeah well most of them are dead by now... so just sit in your white guilt because your whiteness caused all of this
Thank you, this is a very important piece and history we should all know about.
The history lesson here is white people stay winning. Remember that.

If I were dodger fan I wouldn’t be that happy, saying hey I’m going to Chavez Ravine.
Thank you for the history lesson 💯💯👌🏿
Ya I remember I was 6 and remember them pulling the people out of the house and then bulldoze the home.also killed some of their animals .
down the street from police academy very disturbing to me something I can never forget.
Union train station in Los Angeles was built by bulldozing most of Chinatown, mostly residences. At the time Chinatown was almost as big as the one in San Francisco but non-Chinese looked on it as a slum.
+steamfans That's right! Check out this article from our Neighborhood blog, Departures: www.kcet.org/socal/departures/chinatown/new-chinatown/new-chinatown-union-station.html
"It was time for Los Angeles to build a top-notch train terminal, Union Station, and the decision was made to build right where Old Chinatown had stood from 1870 until the 1930's. In the same ways Latinos would later be displaced from Sonora Town and the Chavez Ravine during the construction of Dodger Stadium in the 1950s, Chinese Americans were displaced in the 1930's, "buried" so to speak under one of L.A.'s most iconic buildings, sometimes called the "last of the great railway stations."
But also, check out the Chinatown hub: www.kcet.org/socal/departures/chinatown/ It's full of fascinating history and field guides for both old and new Chinatown.
steamfans that's fucked up! the Chinese built the Railroads!
@@jonmacdonald5345 as usual in the hispanic Mexican topics and forums
Luca Brazi Hey I am brown and I am down what can I say!
@@jonmacdonald5345 Well at least here in California.
Very well crafted historical presentation. Thank you!
Breaks my heart
Thank you, I didn't know. And now I do. Thank you again Lost LA
So very sad. Thank you for posting this video.
O'melly, I hope your happy where ever you are you took are dreams our hopes and families away, you were the owner of this night mere, it can't ever be replaced Chavez Ravine.
This area was always known as La Loma, Palo Verde, and Bishop. It was never known as Chavez Ravine!
I’m a Giants fan. This makes me hate the Dodgers organization even more. Who said life was fair? I feel for la raza who had to go through all that
Do you know what your stadium 🏟️ AT&T Park was built on top of? Food for thought... before you go placing judgement on just one place or one single organization...we could get into this VERY DEEPLY all over AMERICA and ALL OVER THE WORLD...Look it up...I dare you... I'm going to look it up for myself this very moment. God Bless 🙏
Wow very cool! Thank you!
L.A. should have a Major League Baseball stadium. It’s an unfortunate reality that affordable land and a good location were necessary. Chavez Ravine offered both. Thousands of homes are condemned and razed every time a freeway is built. Most people accept this and get on with their lives.
A Harry Bosch book brought me here. I love southern California history. I don't love that this and other horrible events happened. I probably should say that I'm very interested in it. Great Video! Horrible event. Anybody know about a similar story in Carlsbad and Encinitas Ca? I've heard stories from people but can't find any info.
This is why I don’t like Chicano history month. It mostly highlights struggles that lead to accomplishments. The underdog kind of story that is uplifting. But never explore events that would serve and a learning lesson to all Americans. My dad grew up in Chavez Ravine before moving to Norco. Almost no one that I know who are “proud Chicanos” know anything about this but do attend Dodgers stadium games.
Just got through the book "stealing home". Fascinating story. Great visual 👌🏼
Do you know where to get that book?
I bought it on Amazon...great read
Same thing happened in Bunker Hill.
Thanks .. sad
The ghost have not left yet .
They should play this at the Doyers stadium 😢
I feel so bad for what happened here. Not fair at all
It should not surprise anybody. Been going on since the discovery by the spaniards!
True.
True
Hopefully this information reaches those interested in knowing more about the history of Chavez Ravine!

Look forward in hearing from you!
This is a chance to inform the public and tell a magnificent story!
One of many reasons I no longer support professional sports.
Wouldnt it be wonderful if a mayor or city official would loose there home to eminent domain. Than the shoe could be on the other foot. How would there families feel? Kelo vs city of New London similar story to Chavez ravine. Destroying buildings is wasteful. Familes need to pass there homes down to there kids
Without eminent domain though we would have no freeways.
@@rockyracoon3233 freeways destroyed major cities in US not to mention caused never ending wars
@@jackhasselhoff1021 Explain how they caused never ending wars?
These people were totally disrespected. 😭😭😭
The LAST lil MEXICO 😭
As a Dodger fan and many of us being of Mexican decent I wonder how the Dodgers remember and pay respect to Chavez Ravine
They say thanks fellas
They don't. FTD
The plan.was too build a baseball stadium
That is why I have lost interest in sports! These poor people were robbed by the government!
Residents should have atleast got paid for the value of their property.
That's crappy. I never knew that because even though baseball is literally the only team sport I can stand, I just don't spend a lot of time thinking about any kind of sports.
😔
cool! GO DODGERS!
Paisa Drummer Right Fuck Anaheim!
You. You there. Get out.
☝️😐👍
And now
those people are somewhere paying for the anguish they caused,
The residents of San dimas canyon were burned out of their homes in 2002.
🥺🥺🥺
They called it black friday but erbody loves a sale 😲🤐
Nah. Not a town called Chavez Ravine. Not city was at work and more. /
How anyone could be a dodgers fan is mind boggling! Especially all those so called social justice warriors....smh.
This injustice is something indigenous native Americans can certainly attest to. Stolen land.
There’s actually a story on why the housing was cancelled and Dodgers took it over
Was it because it was a lie from the start?!🤷🏻♀️
And to think, most Dodger fans are mexican smh.
So true.
It’s always about more tax money for politicians. They never have enough.
Cruel..Rivas Family, LA Loma
www.buriedundertheblue.com The history of the 3 destroyed communities of Palo Verde, La Loma, and Bishop. Brought to you from the living descents. Bridging the past to the present with gentrification spreading throughout Los Angeles with more to come due to the Olympics and bond money HHH been rerouted. 2.18.18
looked like shacks that people lived in
Just another example of bad government in Los Angeles
La Loma, Palo Verde, and Bishop. The three communities in Chavez Ravine betrayed by promises of do-gooder government.
that's the reason I'm all against the dodgers
Raymundo Gonzalez Most all of the land was bought up for Housing projects and then left dormant decades before being offered to the Dodgers. Unfair to blame baseball when it was a near-ghost town by 1958.
charlesjwin very cold. They should feel bad up to this date.
1981 Fernando Mania is born! 🇲🇽⚾️
Mexican, Mexican-American forgave the Dodgers in 1981.
Sellouts.
Did the City of Los Angeles and the Dodger’s organization ever apologize to the Latino community of Los Angeles for lying to them and forcefully displacing Latino people from Chavez Ravine telling them that they were going to build them a brand new community with parks that it was going to be a beautiful community,and what was their plan,well,there you have it,the Dodger’s stadium,there’s a school buried underneath the Dodger’s stadium,it came to my mind because I heard some people are boycotting the Dodger’s organization because the Gay people are preparing some sort of celebration they going to paint the field in rainbow colors and they’re going to have transgender performers dancing in skirts and painted all pretty and so some people are upset about that but nobody remembers about Chavez Ravine,I’ve been boycotting the Dodgers since before the gays came out of the closet,I will never set foot at the Dodgers stadium,and good luck with the gay party.
Well i mean Los Angeles has become Mexico North so I guess they got the last laugh
Considering it used to literally be northern Mexico, I'd say it's always been like that. Only difference is that the Hispanics have more power nowadays.
It's originally Mexico's before it was stolen too
@@cynbarron731 it belonged to Spain before Mexico and before Spain the indigenous.
Progressive elitism ruined Chavez Ravine.
Shame
Goodbye DODGERS 😭 am not a fan anymore don't want to go back to your center now that i know about ...Battle of Chavez Ravine
I can't they did that just for playing now i understand was the put the Catholic in colors juat to being the Mexicans down knowing must Mexicans are Catholic
This is why dodgers Didint win the world series in 2017 . They coursed it

Paisa Drummer and in 2018 😉😉, people died making miller park so is that why y’all beat us
Boo hoo. Play ball!!
