History Talk: A Long Beach Airport’s 100th Anniversary Celebration Event
Thursday, January 25, 2024, from 5.30 pm to 8.00 pm PT
Billie Jean King Main Library
200 West Broadway
Long Beach, California 90802
Please join us for a talk about the information that Philip S. Hart and I uncovered in the new essay we researched and wrote titled “Long Beach Airport and Southern California: A Brief New Aviation and Aeronautics History (1900s – 1980s).” We will illuminate histories of overlooked women and people of color who contributed to making Southern California a global center of aviation and aerospace over the last century. This project was commissioned by the Historical Society of Long Beach and Long Beach Airport (LGB) as part of its 100th anniversary celebration.
A reception starts off the January 25 event at 5.30 PM before the program begins at 6.00 PM.
