The Los Angeles Sentinel is a weekly
African-American daily life experience in the post-1992 Los Angeles Riots era.[1]
The Sentinel was founded in 1933 by
circulation in the predominantly African-American neighborhoods of South Los Angeles, Inglewood and Compton. The office is on Crenshaw Boulevard with commercial corridor in the Hyde Park neighborhood
which is known as "the heart of African American commerce in Los Angeles".
On March 17, 2004, the Sentinel was purchased and came under the direction of
community activist Danny Bakewell.[4] He planned to provide the diversity of thought that exists among African Americans with opinion columns and editorials. He also wanted to cover business and reach young people.[5]
