Title	Protesting the paving of paradise
Photographer	Gulker, Chris.
Collection ID	Herald Examiner Collection
Location/Accession	HE_b087_f3_i34
Date	1981
Physical Description	1 photographic print :b&w ;34 x 24 cm. on sheet 36 x 28 cm.
Description	Photograph caption dated August 21, 1981 reads, "Over the past three months, Yong Management Corp. has issued eviction notices to more than 500 mostly Latino residents of the Temple-Beaudry neighborhood and the Ninth Street area near Florida Avenue and Eighth Place in Los Angeles, but they won't give up their bit of paradise without a fight. About 75 of them showed up yesterday at the firm's Chinatown office to demand help relocating. Sandra Rodriguez, 4, above foreground, and Beatrice Garjegos display their feelings. "Maybe this will get Yong's attention" said Chatta Pina, 48, who is being evicted from an old Victorian house her family has called home for 20 years. "We want relocation money or alternative housing" she said. If it can be proved private developers plan to put their property to "commercial use" said Pete Salvino of the Coalition for Economic Survival, which is helping the tenants, they must pay dislocated households between $1,000 and $2,500. He said eviction notices say Yong plans to leave a paved, empty lot. Chit Yong, corporation director and private real estate developer, ignored the protesters. A secretary said Yong was in meetings all day. Earlier, Yong said, "I have no time for protests. We are very busy people."
