Paul Carter was born and raised in South LA and earned his B.A. in Psychology at Pomona College. At Pomona, Paul learned that Ethnic Studies courses were made possible because students that came before him protested and demanded that their history be taught in school. This taught Paul that education and organizing go hand-in-hand and now he works with youth to empower students to develop as both leaders and scholars.

ALOUD on PLACES This summer the Library Foundation of Los Angeles in Partnership with the Los Angeles Public Library are presenting 5 different programs in parks adjacent to libraries. We’re bringing in music, speakers, performers, book bikes carrying curated books that reflect the entertainment that afternoon, library sign-up, and local food trucks. We’re hoping that families picnic and enjoy the music and readings in a beautiful public space. These events are meant to bring joy and fun to the community!
