From the LA Times -

Nat “King” Cole was a hit singer when he and his wife bought a $65,000 Tudor mansion in Hancock Park in 1948. An attorney for nearby property owners said, “We don’t want undesirable people coming here.” Cole’s reply: “Neither do I, and if I see anybody undesirable coming into this neighborhood, I’ll be the first to complain.” More snapshots from black history in L.A. are here.
