  • Introduction

    He worked in the sanitation department of Los Angeles City. He told me that he trained the mules to turn the wagon around on their own when they came to the end of the block where he lived. He homesteaded the land on Boulder Street next to Malabar Elementary School and built a house on weekends in less than a year's time. He was a soft-spoken, and gentle person who raised chickens, rabbits, and kept a garden with the best fig tree, sage bushes, collard greens, and more.

Did you know?
In 1884, in the year that Lewis Gaiter was born, on May 1st, the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions - a US association - first resolved that "eight hours shall constitute a legal day's labour from and after May 1, 1886, and that we recommend to labour organisations throughout this jurisdiction that they so direct their laws as to conform to this resolution by the time named." Previously, workdays would consist of 10 to 16 hours a day - 6 days a week. It would take years before the 8 hour workday became common practice - and longer before it became a law.
Did you know?
In 1919, by the time he was 35 years old, in the summer and early autumn, race riots erupted in 26 U.S. cities, resulting in hundreds of deaths and even more people being badly hurt. In most cases, African-Americans were the victims. It was called the "Red Summer". Men who were returning from World War I needed jobs and there was competition for those jobs among the races. Tension was heightened by the use by many companies of blacks as strikebreakers.
