'Everyday Courage' event promotes California arts, humanities

A big event Tuesday night in Los Angeles will lift up arts and culture, history and the humanities. The theme is “ Everyday Courage .” The nonprofit California Humanities will present its Spirit of the Humanities Awards. Ann Burroughs, president and CEO of the Japanese American National Museum, will receive the award for Courageous Leadership. She said California's postwar mistreatment of Japanese Americans remains highly relevant today. "It's critically important that we not only know the history but we understand history, because if we don't know what the lessons of history are, then they can so easily be repeated," Burroughs explained. The evening’s featured speaker will be playwright and filmmaker Luis Valdez, founder of El Teatro Campesino, which helped spread the word about strikes and marches by Chicano farmworkers in the 1960s. PBS currently features a documentary on the subject, called "American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez." Sen. Ben Allen, D-El Segundo, will be honored as the legislative champion for his support of the film industry and arts education. "They've been an incredibly important part of what makes California special," Allen emphasized. "So much of our global leadership has to do with our cultural leadership, the fact that we're

Three Free Venice Lots Could Start Charging Under Parking Overhaul

VENICE - About 200 free parking spaces on Abbot Kinney Boulevard would become metered under a city proposal that would also make parking more expensive at municipal lots across Venice. The meters would cover Abbot Kinney between Main Street and Venice Boulevard. Three currently free city lots would begin charging, and six existing paid lots would see rate increases. The plan would change what drivers pay without adding street parking. Written comments must reach the city by the end of Nov. 24 to be considered before a decision on the coastal development permit. The proposed rate schedule shows increases for both quick stops and longer visits. In the seasonal subzones of the Venice and Washington-Pacific parking zones, street meter base rates would rise from $2 to $2.50 an hour in summer and from $1 to $1.50 in winter. Summer rates would apply May 1 through Sept. 30. The year-round subzones in those two parking zones would move from $1 to $1.50 an hour. Drivers could pay more than those base rates. Under LA Express Park's demand-based system, charges could fall to $1 an hour or rise to twice the applicable base rate, reaching $5 in some areas. For drivers using

LA, Orange County Gas Prices Continue Falling

The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Los Angeles County dropped 1 cent Sunday to $5.827, its lowest amount since Sept. 2. The average price has fallen 36 times in the last 38 days. It is 15 cents less than one week ago and 55.4 cents less than one month ago, but 94.5 cents more than one year ago, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service. It has risen $1.133 since the start of the joint U.S./Israel war on Iran on Feb. 28, which sent oil prices higher and drastically accelerated increases at the gas pump.

Incumbent Derek Tran (D) defeated Chuong Vo (R) in the general election for California's 45th Congressional District on November 3, 2026. The election took place in the context of redistricting that changed the boundaries of the 45th District from those used in the 2024 election. Inside Elections' Nathaniel Rakich said, "[The district] adds a few more Democratic areas of Los Angeles County to go from D+1 to D+5, although it should remain competitive; the Republican candidates for attorney general, controller, and treasurer in 2022 all would have carried the new version of this seat."
