Karen Bass: Roots, Resilience, and the Story of Los Angeles

What’s it like to go from community organizer to Congress to the Mayor’s chair — with history rhyming along the way?

Karen Bass’s story is as personal as it is political — and as uniquely Los Angeles as they come.

Before she was Mayor of Los Angeles, she was a physician’s assistant, the founder of the influential nonprofit Community Coalition, the first Black woman to serve as Speaker of the California Assembly, a Congresswoman, Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, and even a contender for Vice President.

In this episode, Mayor Bass talks about the forces that shaped her: being denied entry to her middle school because they had “met their quota” of Black students, hearing Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination broadcast live on the radio after volunteering for his campaign at age 14, and growing up during a time when her parents warned her that Martin Luther King Jr. might not live to see his dream fulfilled.
