In 1965, the Watts Rebellion shook Los Angeles, laying bare the racial inequalities that divided the city. Two years later, brothers Alonzo and Dale Brockman Davis opened the Brockman Gallery in Leimert Park. It was a space where young Black artists could exhibit their work and exchange ideas. Over the next 23 years, the gallery helped launch the careers of David Hammons, Suzanne Jackson, Carrie Mae Weems, and many others. Now, LACMA is presenting the first major exhibition devoted to the gallery’s history, bringing together more than 60 works along with photographs, letters, and other archival material that tell the story of one of L.A.’s most influential Black art spaces. —Elena Clavarino
