Looking back at the life of LA Mayor Tom Bradley

In 1973, Los Angeles became the first American city to do something that would have a huge political effect. Voters elected Tom Bradley, an African American man, as mayor.

His life and political career are highlighted in the new documentary, Bridging the Divide, one of the films this will be showcased this weekend at the Los Angeles Film Festival.
