A powerful new documentary, “Reclaiming Home: Black Altadena Rebuilds,” premieres Thursday night, spotlighting the devastating impact of the Eaton Fire on Altadena’s Black community. Through the stories of four families, including John Hickambottom rebuilding his childhood home, the film reveals how the fire didn’t just destroy property—it erased generations of history forged against redlining and systemic exclusion. With nearly half of Black households in Altadena suffering major losses, and most homeowners over 65 facing insurance gaps, the documentary becomes a vital act of preservation. It’s not just about rebuilding homes—it’s about reclaiming legacy, resilience, and community. Join the premiere at Loma Alta Park and hear firsthand how Altadena’s Black families are rebuilding their future, one brick at a time.
