LOS ANGELES — Curren Price was sworn in for his third term on Los Angeles City Council last fall with a promise to mend rifts.
After leaked recordings had exposed Latino council members plotting to consolidate power in a conversation laced with anti-Black tropes, Price was a counterpoint — a veteran Black leader who had forged unity in his majority Latino district.
“He is someone for me that embodies everything we need in this moment,” said Councilmember Monica Rodriguez.
