You have heard of white flight. Now consider black flight Next month the Burning Bush Baptist Church will hold its first service in a converted Sears department store. When the church was founded, in 1995, it had a congregation of 12. About 750 now attend Sunday services, and more are joining all the time. One reason for the church's growth is the oratorical skill of David Denson, its pastor. Another is that Burning Bush is a mostly black church, and there are a lot more blacks around these days. Between 2000 and 2006 the black population of Victorville and Apple...

In 2000, federal authorities indicted two dozen leaders of Los Angeles' notorious 18th Street gang in a move prosecutors said would "cut off the head" of the group. But the head grew back — despite more arrests and several gang injunctions designed to prevent members from congregating. So this week, when federal prosecutors indicted 18 gang leaders for allegedly running a sophisticated drug operation west of downtown, the grand pronouncements about the gang's impending death were conspicuously absent. Instead, Assistant U.S. Atty. Bruce Riordan said he expected a period of chaos within the gang as younger members vie for power....

Crenshaw High School, among Los Angeles' lowest-performing campuses, lost its accreditation this week, throwing into doubt the worth of the diplomas its future graduates will receive. The Western Assn. of Schools and Colleges, which accredits public and private high schools in California, notified school officials Monday that the campus had been stripped of its accreditation after failing to correct what it found were persistent, widespread problems. In a letter to the school, the association's accrediting commission said it had rejected the school because of "great concerns regarding student achievement, the implementation of a curriculum and instructional program aligned with California...

Los Angeles mayor-elect Antonio Villaraigosa said Wednesday that Mexico will play an important role in shaping his policies, reports Mexico's EL UNIVERSAL Online. "We are starting a new era. Instead of closing the borders, as stated by Schwarzenegger, we should look at our border as an opportunity," Villaraigosa said. "This is a time of great importance, not just for us to rediscover our roots, but looking to create a mutually beneficial relationship," added the city's first Latino mayor since 1872. The top L.A. Democrat lamented that the recent passage by Congress of The Real ID Act would prevent illegal aliens...

Removal of cross on seal stands By Troy Anderson, Staff Writer Despite passionate pleas from an overflow crowd of 2,000, Los Angeles County's Board of Supervisors refused Tuesday to back down on their decision to remove a tiny Christian cross on the official seal because of a legal threat from the ACLU. The 3-2 vote came only hours after a private legal foundation filed a lawsuit against the county in federal court in Los Angeles, seeking to prevent the removal of the cross which was part of a design adopted nearly 50 years ago. The standing-room-only audience - the largest...

(CNSNews.com) - More than a thousand angry citizens went to a Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, but despite their efforts, county supervisors refused to reverse their decision to remove a small cross from the county's official seal. The ACLU threatened to sue the county if it did not remove the Christian cross -- which symbolizes California's missionary history. On Tuesday, as protestors waved signs, the Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 to uphold its earlier decision that the cross must go. Press reports said Tuesday's meeting was standing room only, drawing the largest crowd to attend a...

LOS ANGELES — Like death and taxes, two things are certain in the USA's second-most-populous and second-sunniest metropolis. The sun will come out tomorrow, and so will smog. Residents of the Los Angeles area didn't have to hear Thursday's announcement by the Environmental Protection Agency to know that the air they breathe is among the dirtiest in America. Smog has become a fact of life here. Los Angeles and its suburbs are home to about 16.4 million people and 9.5 million cars and trucks. In a listing of 474 counties that violate new federal standards for clean air, the EPA...

DARPA intends to conduct a race of autonomous ground vehicles from the vicinity of Los Angeles to Las Vegas in 2004. A cash prize will be awarded to the winner. The purpose of the race is to encourage the accelerated development of autonomous vehicle technologies that could be applied to military requirements.

Police looking for possible links to terrorism searched the apartment of an Egyptian who opened fire at Los Angeles' airport, killing two people at Israel's El Al ticket counter before being shot to death by a guard. The shootout came on the Fourth of July, when the possibility of terror attacks had put security on high alert around the country. The FBI, however, was withholding judgment on whether to label the attack as terrorism. "We've never said it's not terrorism," FBI spokesman Matt McLaughlin said. "We can't rule that out, but there's nothing to indicate terrorism at this point." McLaughlin...
