Since childhood, Kamau Coleman discovered solace in spending his free days and weekends at a household pal’s duplex house close to the Venice Seaside strip. Whereas the property had been round since 1964, it had by no means been upgraded exterior of fundamental upkeep.
“You’ll be able to think about we have been on the ocean, so every thing rusted,” Coleman tells The Hollywood Reporter. “For instance, the steps, the legs went instantly into the sand and there was actually nothing holding it.”
Across the early phases of the pandemic lockdown, the constructing’s earlier proprietor determined to retire, paying the tenants to vacate the property and in addition giving Coleman and his enterprise companions a possibility to get entangled — therefore The Redline Venice Lodge was born.
The constructing stands out as the one Black-owned house lodge on the strip, providing each short-term stays and reservations of a month or extra. The identify “Redline” carries a twin that means. It symbolizes racial discrimination in housing, stemming from authorities redlining practices that restricted the place Black residents might dwell.

As I used to be doing my R&D, I dug into the historical past of Venice and got here throughout this episode of KCET’s Misplaced LA in regards to the position Blacks performed within the space’s early beginnings.”
Every of the models incorporates a particular theme that dives deep into every thing from the connection between Venice Seaside founder Abbot Kinney and Black forefather Arthur Reese to Black skate tradition within the space.

To do it and to current it in a method that’s insightful to folks as visitors and uncover the tales at your personal tempo additionally means we’re not shoving it in your face.”
