Downtown Los Angeles’ Little Tokyo made it on National Trust for Historic Preservation's list of America’s 11 most endangered historic places in 2024.⁠ ⁠ The Japanese American National Museum, Little Tokyo Community Council and others from the Sustainable Little Tokyo coalition spearheaded the effort to have Little Tokyo designated as one of America’s most endangered historic places. The distinction is an important one for Little Tokyo, as the district is now one of the only four remaining Japantowns across the United States.⁠ ⁠ “This designation helps to ensure that Little Tokyo’s history, cultural heritage and legacy are recognized and its future is guided,” Kristen Hayashi, a curator at the Japanese American National Museum, said.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 🏯Learn more about the list of endangered historic places and more history about J-towns in the full article on our website in our linkinbio ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 💬Comment “email” to sign up to our daily newsletter.⁠ ⁠ 📰Follow us for the latest Asian News NextShark...
