Kenneth T. Norris, Jr. Heritage of Freedom Award - Evan Lovett

This year’s keynote speaker and recipient of the Kenneth T. Norris Jr. Heritage of Freedom Award is Evan Lovett, the creator of the L.A. in a Minute podcast. Lovett’s storytelling is praised for his accounts of the geopolitical or historical background of an L.A. Street, business, or landmark in short form. His enthusiastic, contemporary spin on history has made LA in a Minute into a fast growing, popular multimedia brand. Long-time Angelenos and newcomers alike credit the content as a great way to feel connected to the vast, sprawling city.

"Celebrating the history and legacy of Palos Verdes on the 250th anniversary of our nation's independence is a privilege. I am genuinely excited to share this moment with so many incredible people," says Evan Lovett, LA in a Minute, podcaster.
