On May 28, 2000, the Los Angeles Times ran an article about inter-racial cooperation in Los Angeles. When many inner-city neighborhoods celebrated Cinco de Mayo festivities,"it was black-run organizations that, as part of their mission of community service, mounted many of the the Cinco de Mayo celebrations.
