The Gold Rush era as designed by Ulysses Jenkins provides a Black‑American perspective on this period. It begins with the discovery of gold at Sutters' Mill and the migration of Blacks, Mexicans and Indians as well as Whites by ship to California. Above the bay are portraits of Mifflin W. Gibbs, publisher of the first Black newspaper and Mary Ellen Pleasant, a civil rights activist who helped defend Blacks arraigned under the fugitive slave laws.

Composite Of African American Firefighters
title Composite Of African American Firefightersdescription Chemical Co. No.1, later to become Hose Company No. 4, was the result of a segregation policy to keep African-American and Mexican-American officers from being in charge of white fire fighters. As a result, the fire department gathered up all the African-American and Mexican-American firefighters and formed the city's first all-black fire company - Chemical Co. No.1 at 137 S. Belmont Drive, Los Angeles, CA. Chemical Co. No. 1 closed in 1907 and Hose Company No. 4, referred to as ‘The Hill,’ went into service in the same station with the same all-Black crew. At the turn of the century as the demographics of Los Angeles were changing, it was decided to move the black firemen from Hose Co. 4 to Fire Station 30, an emerging mixed-race neighborhood. In 1924, Hose Co. 4 was closed and Engine Co. 58 opened in the same building. Title supplied by cataloger. View of a composite postcard of African American firefighters at Chemical Company No.1. The postcard shows the Champion Chemical Engine, double tank, each with a 50-gallon capacity, and 200 feet of chemical hose. Chemical Company No.1 was located at 137 S. Loma Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90026.
