Ben Caldwell Square Honors Legacy | California News
Description
Leimert Park’s iconic intersection just got a powerful new name: Ben Caldwell Square, honoring the visionary filmmaker and educator who shaped Black cinema and community arts for over forty years. From documenting soldiers in Vietnam to pioneering the L.A. Rebellion movement, Caldwell turned his lens on culture, not just politics. After founding the KAOS Network in 1984, he became a lifelong mentor to generations of Black artists in LA — leaving behind a legacy that lives on in every frame he captured and every young creator he lifted up.
