Chavez Ravine residents were forced to relocate in the 1940s when the City voted to accept federal funding for new housing
developments in the area. When these apartment projects failed several years later, the remaining residents of Chavez Ravine
were removed by a controversial order of eminent domain to build Dodger Stadium
