Welcome to the Love Club. Three generations of women tell real stories about the power of love in diary-style, personal recordings. In today’s series (spoken as if it has a period at the end: mothers, partners, and dear family of mine, Florence Dickey, Diane Kemp, and Tory Kemp share their experiences with marriage, trust, and their lifelong commitment to family. They each define unconditional love and express how it has shaped their outlook on life: uncut, untainted, and in their own terms.

Our group was highly interested by the hierarchy and power dynamics of the USC identity/community and that role in relation to the identity of south-central Los Angeles. 
We chose Jefferson, as it speaks to the disillusionment of two distinct parties (USC and south-central), and their associated demographics. This location also reveals the ways by which the two cultures coexist, and highlights an interesting observation of the cultural dichotomy or duality that paves our understanding of these communities.
Jefferson marks an east and west split, defining the divide between socioeconomic, racial, and age variables of USC students and south-central community members. This pattern is reinforced by cultural codes, and aural and visual cues that sculpt the cultural representation of the area. You will listen to a narrative interpretation based in the historical and culturally informed changes of West and East Jefferson Boulevard.

One question remains: Where do you stand on Jefferson?
