In memory of Angela Romero
It is with sadness that we announce the passing of LACHS 2021 Scholarship recipient Angela Romero on April 8, 2022. She was only 43. Angela was very involved in sharing the history of San Pedro with the community, including founding a nonprofit dedicated to establishing the San Pedro Heritage Museum. We will miss her greatly and appreciate her contributions to the Los Angeles City Historical Society. She won her scholarship for her paper “Sorry Charlie: How a Cartoon Fish Became America’s most Enduring Icon of Counterculture Capitalism”.

About the LACHS Scholarship Program
In 2019, the Los Angeles City Historical Society implemented a program to award scholarships to outstanding history graduate students at local universities and colleges. We hope that LACHS members and friends wish to support the program by donating funds to the program. Please note that 100% of all donations will go to students.
The Board recognizes the critical value of the study and analysis of history to our democracy and seeks to encourage outstanding students in the field.
