In honor of Black History Month, LA County Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell wants to take a few moments to recognize some outstanding residents and organizations in our district that are making history while inspiring and serving our communities

The holidays makes us all want to connect with our loved ones. Especially this year when we have been through so much together.
