Black Firsts highlights the oft unheralded accomplishments of Black Angelenos which-despite their importance-are generally not included in school books or taught in classrooms.

Acting to Aviation Hamburger Queens to Hollywood Correspondents Janitors to Judges Quarterbacks to Quilters; and, Yoga Teachers to Zoo Directors.

Many of the achievements discussed in Black Firsts represent the first of their kind in the United States; such as the first Black flight school. Other achievements represent Black firsts in the state of California; like the first Black Lieutenant Governor, and others still represent Black firsts in the city of Los Angeles; like the first Black person on the Los Angeles Housing Commission.
