"Groundbreaking ceremony for redevelopment project in Watts"

Reporter Larry McCormick covers the groundbreaking ceremony for a redevelopment project in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles. Both city officials and community members, most of them African American, were present for the groundbreaking ceremony. The project, which will create many new jobs in the community, is comprised of sixty new homes and a park area. Footage includes shots of an artist's rendering of the completed project, eight men digging into the ground and posing for pictures, Junior ROTC color guard, a choir in robes, and different men addressing the crowd. Note some of the footage is silent.

Note:  The KTLA newsfilm collection at UCLA consists of cut and unedited stories, outtakes and fill footage, originally shot on 16mm reversal film stock with magnetic soundtrack. Some footage, particularly material not used for broadcast, may be without sound.
