Before it was gutted in an arson blaze almost exactly a year ago, Garfield High School’s historic auditorium embodied the soul of both its students and its working-class East Los Angeles community.
It played host to school assemblies and colorful folklorico dance performances. It was a neighborhood meeting place and the spawning ground of the band Los Lobos. Math teacher Jaime Escalante, whose award-winning calculus students were portrayed in the film “Stand and Deliver,” used the space as a rallying ground for political causes.”*
