Clinton Visits South Los Angeles in Visit to Areas Left Behind

HeadlineJul 08, 1999

President Clinton will be in South Los Angeles today, continuing his visits to areas left behind in America’s economic boom. Clinton last visited South L.A. as a presidential candidate in 1992, after the street rebellions that took place after the Rodney King verdict. Afterwards, banks and federal redevelopment programs made millions of dollars in loans and grants to local businesses, and many areas have been rebuilt. The president will visit a local college and high school, bringing a plan for private and public investment. He hopes it convinces more banks and corporations they can make money in South Los Angeles.
