	Independent Lens . CHAVEZ RAVINE . The History of Chavez Ravine \| PBS
		Named for Julian Chavez, one of the first Los Angeles County Supervisors in the 1800s, Chavez Ravine was a self-sufficient and tight-knit community, a rare example of small town life within a large urban metropolis.
		The story of Chavez Ravine is intertwined with the social and political climate of the 1950s, or the “Red Scare” era.
		While supporters of the federal public housing plan for Chavez Ravine viewed it as an idealistic opportunity to provide improved services for poor Angelenos, opponents of the plan—including corporate business interests that wanted the land for their own use—employed the widespread anti-communist paranoia of the day to characterize such public housing projects as socialist plots.
