St. Elmo Village Historic-Cultural Monument Designation

Thursday, August 14, 2025 was the official plaque unveiling for our recent
and very exciting Historic-Cultural Monument Designation!

It was amazing to have community from all over come out and support and to hear remarks from our honorable city councilwoman Heather Hutt.

Here are some photos to share the special moment with you all.
Roderick and Rozzell’s legacy lives on.

We have also linked the Getty press release here, so you can read more about the other sites that have been designated with landmark status in order to recognize and
preserve Black Heritage in Los Angeles.

We are grateful for your continued support in keeping the spirit of the Village alive. Thanks to you, St. Elmo Village offers free art workshops, creative programs, and cultural events that bring our community together.

To keep this work going, we invite you to consider making a donation. Every gift, large or small, directly funds the materials, instructors, and resources that make our programs possible.
