and resistance to life throughout three main regions: Sacramento, San Fernando Valley, and Los Angeles. The group members will demonstrate how they use mapping tools coupled with primary/secondary sources to engage in interactive historical storytelling. Using
a mixture of present and former sites, the project aims to integrate their own research interests while confronting and expanding the current literature in the field of history.
