In September 2023, the Fi Wi Road interns led the second Fi Wi Road Fair at the University College London (UCL). This year the interns chose to focus on the idea of journeys. Intended as a collective mapping out of Black communities, Black experiences and Black spaces across the globe. The Fair aimed to gather as a collective to understand not only the routes which brought us together, but also what the future holds.

FI WI ROAD FAIR 2023
Black Los Angeles: 1930-2020
Space makes race and race makes place, so the geographer might argue. As our study group at California State University, Northridge explores the history of Black Los Angeles as part of an overall analysis of the case for municipal reparations, we offer this story map as a foundational artifact of any study of Black Los Angelenos.
