Thesis title:
My project tells the story of what happened to Angelenos when the world’s biggest sporting event came to town. More broadly, the project looks at how global, deregulated economics, the media, black athletes, and the policing of public space all came together in the city of Los Angeles to remake race and American identity at the end of the Cold War.
