Hunt
of

to

Black
regarding
water
rights
to the
Colorado
River
.
Note
To
meet
the
need
for
water
of its
growing
population
, the
City
of
Los
Angeles
began
acquiring
water
rights
in the
Owens
Valley
in
1905
. The
Los
Angeles
Aqueduct
was
completed
in
1913
to
bring
Owens
Valley
water
to the
city
.
During
the
1920s
, the
City
of
Los
Angeles
began
additional
large-scale
purchases
of
land
in the
Owens
Valley
to
increase
its
supply
of
water
from the
valley
,
resulting
in the
city's
almost
complete
control
of the
valley's
agricultural
land
. This
led
to a
decline
in the
valley's
agricultural
infrastructure
and
economy
. As
secretary
for the
Big
Pine
Property
Owners
Association
(BPPOA)
and
later
for the
Big
Pine
Reparations
Association
(BPRA)
,
J

D
.
Black
(1893-1960)
was a
leader
in the
fight
of
Big
Pine
for
reparations
from the
City
of
Los
Angeles
during
the
Owens
Valley
water
conflict
.
