## Background (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0, shortened)

Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza (alternately BHCP) is a shopping mall  located within  the Baldwin Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. The mall lies southwest of Interstate 10. This was one of the first regional shopping centers in the United States built specifically for the automobile. The two anchor buildings, completed in 1947, retain their original Streamline Moderne style. Since the mid-1960s, the mall has become a major economic and cultural entertainment hub of surrounding African American communities which include a spectrum of socioeconomic classes.
