represent significant barriers for minority members of the LAFD, remain. Double standards, subjective judgements and institutionalized discrimination still serve as an effective barrier against equal and fair promotional practices. A review of minority members, in middle and upper-level management positions, is clear evidence of the ongoing problem of discrimination faced by our members. The LAFD has become polarized, not only within itself, but also within the high risk communities it serves. The LAFD is one of the Fire Departments who must protect itself from the very people it is supposed to serve. The Los Angeles City Council's resolution #94.0585 dated April 12, 1994, directed the Personnel Department to study the LAFD. This study was to review the entry level process and all procedures and factors relevant to promotion and advancement within the Fire Department as they relate to minorities and females. This represents an important opportunity for objective evaluation and for change. The Los Angeles City Stentorians is an African-American Firefighter's Association dedicated to the professional advancement of its members. Therefore, we have a real stake in ensuring that the Personnel Department's study objectively evaluates and highlights the LAFD's present promotional and employment practices. We are confident that an honest review of the present employment conditions in the LAFD will lead to the conclusion that a fundamental lack of equal opportunity exists and that certain safeguards, policies and procedures are needed to level the playing field. The Stentorian organization would like to see an LAFD united within itself. Where all members are treated equally, and job satisfaction is not only experienced by each member, but is also displayed to the communities in which we live and serve.
233:, the newly elected mayor, wanted to install his own fire chief, and sought a pretext to oust the current head of the LAFD, fire chief engineer John Alderson. A month after taking office, he was given a petition backed by the NAACP that protested that the LAFD did not represent the people it served because it was not integrated. Poulson, who was against fair employment practices, sought to use this petition to get the fire commission to fire the chief engineer. Alderson wanted no interference from city hall but then was beset on another front. When the fire commission ordered him to produce a plan on integration and the white ranks learned of this, they raised $ 500,000 and formed a fact-finding committee to investigate whether integration was possible and petitioned the fire commission to hold any decision until October 14, 1954. Before the results of this committee were heard, the commissioners ordered Alderson to integrate, which he began to do. Four black firefighters were sent to other firehouses from the two segregated firehouses. Tensions rose; the fact-finding committee reported back to the commission that under no circumstances should integration occur. By then, the firehouses that were integrated became hellhouses for the black firefighters. Nightly hazing had become warped and degrading. When six more blacks were sent to the Old #10 firehouse, the tension was palpable. By the end of 1955, Chief Alderson removed the men from the white firehouses (so-called ‘Hate Houses’), for their safety, much to the chagrin of the fire commission, which then fired him for insubordination.

It is now home to the African American Firefighter Museum and is dedicated to collecting, conserving and sharing the shared history and heritage of African American firefighters. The history of African American firefighters in Los Angeles spans more than 100 years and provides a unique glimpse into the history of firefighting, race relations and segregation in the city. It was one of two segregated fire stations where black firefighters worked in Los Angeles between 1924 and 1955. It was built in 1913 and served the Central Avenue community of the city. It is now beautifully restored and has the original apparatus floor tiles, poles and kitchen out-building. In 1985 Old Fire Station 30 was declared a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument - #289 on the historic register - and is the recipient of the Los Angeles Conservancy's 1999 Preservation Award. It is opened to the public as a museum. In 2009 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places along with No. 14.

year of 1955-56 finally ended for the LAFD. Bradley Garret and Tolbert Young were the first blacks hired after integration. Both were terminated unfairly during their academy training, which path Jim Crow practices now took in the fire department. By 1959, barely 3% of the firefighters in the LAFD were African-American. During the 60 years following Alderson's departure, questions of whether he was a traditionalist protecting his department arose. Alderson believed in segregation, and he had convinced himself that his legal obligations under the city charter prohibited assignments based upon race, albeit that some of the city's laws now ran against the rulings adopted by the supreme court and made law everywhere across America.

the fire commission. Alderson retired at the end of the year. Deputy Chief Frank Rothermel became interim chief engineer until William L. Miller became the fire chief engineer on January 17, 1956, and began to integrate the LAFD. Miller, not wanting to be in the same place as the man he replaced, quietly went about the task. With some white firefighters backing integration and receiving punishment for it, the tide had turned against segregation and Miller went ahead and transferred black and white firefighters to Fire Station 7 at 2824 S. Main Street. Calling it an "experiment", Miller had chosen men he knew were un-opposed to integration for the assignment at Fire Station 7.

The allegations were false, and the union and the Stentorians endured a rift in their otherwise cordial relationship. The EDI was created in response to this.
