LOS ANGELES - For Black History Month we take a visit to LA's African American Firefighters Museum.

During this episode we take a look back at the LA Fire Department's history and its years of racism decades ago.

This fire house in South LA was one of only two where black firefighters could work during the years of segregation. The story of The African American Firefighters Museum is about the move from segregation to an integrated fire department.
