LOS ANGELES (CNS) — In honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month beginning today, Sept. 15, Los Angeles City Controller Ron Galperin released a map of 16 locations in the city that highlight the influence Latinos have had on Los Angeles’ history, politics, arts, culture, education and more.

“The Latinx presence has shaped nearly all facets of life in Los Angeles from its founding 240 years ago to the present,” Galperin said. “This story map focuses on some of the public spaces and historical places important to Latinx communities throughout the city. My hope is that Angelenos of all backgrounds will use it to explore their city and learn more about what makes it so unique and wonderful.”
