In 2014, the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress added to its esteemed list the short documentary film, “Felicia,” about the life of a teenage girl, named Felicia Bragg, growing up in the Watts section of Los Angeles. Alan Gorg, one of the filmmakers of “Felicia,” later wrote about how the film came to be made, stating: “My involvement in the civil rights movement began while I was a student at UCLA. Residential areas and employment in California had been largely seg-regated historically and remained so until the 1960s. As a result, schools were mostly segregated, and there were only two African-American students in a student population over 2,000 at Hollywood High School when I attended. My education in the history of racial segregation in America came from black students I met at UCLA. They and the news reports made me conscious of what needed to be done.” - Library of Congress Blog ===== SHOWS THE LIFE OF A NEGRO GIRL IN WATTS, Los Angeles, California. PRESENTS HER OBSERVA
