There’s something you should know about the Huntington Library’s history.

The 102-year-old institution finds itself at a crossroads — grappling with society’s reckoning over wealth inequality after benefiting from it for generations.

latimes.com/entertainment-…
For the unfamiliar, the SoCal landmark boasts nearly 50,000 members, many of whom make regular visits to see the world-class collection of paintings, sculptures, rare books and more.

latimes.com/lifestyle/stor…
While the Huntington’s diversity numbers look decent today — nearly half of the 457 staffers identify as BIPOC — if you take out the facilities workers, the picture gets whiter.

On Monday when Los Angeles County moves into the next tier of reopening guidance, bars without food service can begin pouring drinks again — some for the first time in more than a year.

latimes.com/food/story/202…
Bars without food service have remained closed under the state’s color-coded regulations.

On Monday, bars without food service can join in the reopening: outdoors only and at 25%, with curfews set at 10 p.m.

latimes.com/food/story/202…
Those without food, a patio, ample sidewalk space, room to set tables apart indoors, or a permit to temporarily convert a parklet into a dining area must wait for the return of indoor bar service, which will arrive at 25% capacity in the yellow tier.

In one day, Vania Tovar, 28, had her father, half-sister and members of her large, tight-knit extended family ripped away.

“My dad was everything for us,” she said through tears Friday. “He was the kindest person."
latimes.com/california/sto…
As a father, Tovar had a strict set of rules for his five children. He was much softer with his six grandchildren.

“Waffles and ice cream — that’s what he considered to be a good breakfast for his grandkids,” Vania Tovar said.
