Why it's on the map
Forest Lawn originally participated in racial segregation and "for decades refused entrance to blacks, Jews, and Chinese".
Forest Lawn Memorial Park was founded in 1906 as a not-for-profit cemetery by a group of businessmen from San Francisco.
The first small reproduction was received in 1925 and a larger reproduction was completed in 1940 and unveiled in 1946.
