Altadena, site of the Eaton Firestorm, has a long history in local African-American culture; due to severe discriminatory practices in the Los Angeles area, including redlining and prohibitive deed covenants forbidding resale of properties from white sellers to non-white buyers, the area of Altadena was one of the very few areas where African-Americans could own property, so a large portion of the area is African-American today...
BTW, Altadena is not a city, but is an unincorporated area under the administrative perview of the County of Los Angeles; the residents of Altadena have resisted several attempts to eiter incorporate as a city or be annexed into existing adjacent incorporated cities...
