    A new audio tour from the California Migration Museum explores the history of a raid near Olvera Street nearly a century ago that ultimately resulted in the deportation or coerced emigration of 1 million Mexican Americans in the U.S..

    LOS ANGELES -- Olvera Street, adorned with brightly colored papel picado (perforated paper) and teeming with lively puestos (food stalls), did not always look as vibrant as it does today. While the historic pedestrian street and El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument attract about 2 million tourists annually, many don't know how the area came to be or that it was the site of the first public immigration raid in Los Angeles.

    A new self-guided audio tour, presented by the California Migration Museum, explores both the origin of this storied area and the "hidden" history of the La Placita raid that ultimately led to the deportation of as many as across the country in the 1930s.
