Highlights
"The Making of Modern Los Angeles" is so many stories. It is the deeply moving and inspiring story of a teenager who came to America from Greece, with little besides a love of education and public service and went to play a crucial role in the life of one of America’s great cities. And it’s also the story of Los Angeles, Nick Patsaouras' beloved adopted city, and ultimately, a story of hope and optimism — that cities really can work, and that public service is a worthy calling for us all. https://t.co/fIrUP37Csj
