Juanita Tate (1938 – July 5, 2004) was an American community activist who advocated green space for the poor citizens of South Los Angeles, California. She was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and relocated to the city of Los Angeles in the early 1980s. After the 1992 Los Angeles riots, she became involved in Concerned Citizens of South Central. Tate opposed the community farmers who wanted to keep the South Central Farm. She advocated for the eviction of the farmers and the construction of a sports field in place of the community garden.〔''The Garden'', documentary film〕 Tate was a member of the City of Los Angeles's Environmental Action Commission from 2002 until her death from complications of a stroke. There are plans for a school to be built named Juanita Tate Elementary School on land seized by the Los Angeles Unified School District from the Concerned Citizens of South Central.〔 〕 ==Honors== *NAACP Legacy Award *Western Center for Law and Poverty Community Service Award *California Community Foundation Unsung Hero Award *California State Legislature Woman of the Year Award 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Juanita Tate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
