This year, LA’s Little Tokyo celebrates its 140th anniversary. It’s a testament to the strength and resilience of the community, but there are real concerns among community leaders that it may not survive another 140 years.

In May, the neighborhood was officially declared one of America’s most endangered historic places by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

"LA Times Today" got a look at the efforts to preserve Little Tokyo.
