Vicki Lawrence : Grew up in Inglewood, California

Grew up in Inglewood, California

I read her autobiography some years ago where she mentioned she grew up in Inglewood and graduated high school there. It's funny because I had no idea that Inglewood was ever a 'white neighborhood'. Anytime you watch shows like 'Black*ish' or 'Girlfriends,' etc… they always talk about Inglewood being 'the hood' and not a safe place to be.

Re: Grew up in Inglewood, California

Back when she was born there were probably whites in Inglewood. Now there are almost none. Inglewood has low property values because of LAX, the airport and the constant noise of incoming and out going jets. There are some beautiful neighborhoods with two story houses and large yards in Inglewood. But the whites have left because of the airport. Middle class blacks have moved into the more affordable houses. There's also plenty of slums of course.

Thank you. I didn't know all of that about Inglewood. An interesting history.
