Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa
June 2008
Dear Friends,
On behalf of the City of Los Angeles, I want to welcome you to the 3rd Annual Lummis Day.
This is an extraordinary festival in Northeast Los Angeles that brings our city’s history to
life and celebrates its great multi-cultural tradition. It’s a wonderful example of what can be
accomplished through the cooperative efforts of educational institutions, city government,
neighborhood councils, and grassroots community organizations.
While honoring Charles Fletcher Lummis, one of Los Angeles’ great historical figures, the
festival does more than pay tribute to a single individual. Through the festival committee’s
ongoing educational program, its cooperation with the City of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles
Public Library, Los Angeles Unified Schools, the Autry National Center and Heritage Square
Museum, the festival and its ancillary events foster communication and help build community
by building on our shared history and on the mutual appreciation of our many cultural
traditions.
My congratulations to Lummis Day’s presenting sponsors, the Annenberg Foundation and Autry
National Center, and to the Lummis Day Organizing Committee for bringing this event into its
third year. Best wishes for a wonderful third annual event!
Very truly yours,
ANTONIO R. VILLARAIGOSA
