Talk:Pico family of California

Unnecessary removal of content by User:Cristiano Tomás

Recently, User:Cristiano Tomás removed over 800 bytes of text from this article. I oppose this removal. In particular, I oppose the removal of familial relationships between members of this family unless a family tree is added. I also oppose the outright removal of Jose Delores Pico from this article, and I oppose the arbitrarily high standard Cristiano Tomás is trying to unilaterally impose for being mentioned in this article. pbp 18:03, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Interesting Article About The Pico Family on PBS

"In 1845, Pio Pico, whose grandmother had been listed as a mulata in the 1790 census, was appointed the last Mexican governor of California. Although few know it, this African American figure is the person commemorated by L. A.'s 'Pico Boulevard.'"

"And then there is Maria Rita Valdes, the grand-daughter of two of the black founding fathers of Los Angeles. She was the owner of what is now known as Beverly Hills. Franciso Reyes, another black settler in the area held the land rights to most of the San Fernando Valley." Source: PBS Frontline The Blurred Racial Lines Of Famous Families
