| A late-1960s image of the Shindana Doll Factory |
The dedication ceremony for the new honorary street sign took place to honor the legacy of Shindana Toys, a trailblazing company that produced ethnically correct Black dolls and toys in the area during a pivotal chapter in Los Angeles history.
Founded in 1968 as a division of Operation Bootstrap, the factory served as the central manufacturing hub for what became the world's largest Black-owned toy company. Baby Nancy was Shindana's first doll.
