Represents LA County's 2nd District

Metro's board voted unanimously on October 22 to rename the downtown Pershing Square station after Biddy Mason, who was born into slavery and became one of Los Angeles' first Black landowners. The subway stop on the B and D lines will join a stretch of downtown that already includes Biddy Mason Memorial Park, named for her since the 1990s.
