LOS ANGELES—The city council proclaimed July 1 as Tom Bradley Day in the city of Los Angeles on June 28 to mark the 50th anniversary of the late former mayor’s inauguration.
The council previously adopted a formal resolution honoring Bradley’s legacy, which Council President Paul Krekorian described as a “transformative time of our government.”
“For many of us who are old enough to remember, we really separate the time of Los Angeles before Bradley and the post-Bradley era,” Krekorian said.
