Sam Rodia’s Towers is the masterpiece of a man who, humble in circumstance but not in spirit, found a way to show the world the magnificence of his soul.
The Towers is a strong symbol for the people who live around it. It is a beacon signalling one man’s triumphs over a hostile host society in a metropolis still unsympathetic to the people of Watts, and to many of the city’s poor new immigrants. Sam Rodia’s visionary architecture beckons its neighbors to take heart – no matter how often they are snubbed or rejected by the rest of Los Angeles, and by America at large . . .
