Description:

What was supposed to be a beautiful venue for the 1984 Olympics is now a sliver of green tucked between two busy streets, a railroad track, and two freeways. It's dedicated to a man born in 1912 who overcame the obstacles of his time to become a success story. An accomplished scholar, musician, and athlete, Jesse Robinson was very active in community organizing and local government.
