After South L.A. erupted in anger 30 years ago, government officials promised to end the community’s economic disparity once and for all, and invest. It’s a promise that many residents say remains unfulfilled. But is that finally going to change?

Host: Gustavo Arellano
Guests: L.A. Times business reporter Samantha Masunaga
