It's gonna feel like the first time all over again in this month's episode where, in honor of Black History Month, we discuss some trail blazing African-Americans from Los Angeles. From the city's first African-American mayor to the first African-American surfer, this just may be the first time you actually enjoy one of our episodes. We'll cover Peter Biggs (7:07), Samuel Marlowe (12:41), Nick Gabaldon (16:44), Miriam Matthews (39:58), Stepin Fetchit (50:15), Tom Bradley (1:06:33) and Paul R. Williams (1:22:26).
