LOS ANGELES (KNX) – On Tuesday, Dr. Jane Goodall spoke to families in South L.A. in a conversation hosted by the SoLa Foundation at the SoLa Beehive.
The anthropologist, who was the first researcher to live with chimpanzees in Tanzania and realize they have feelings, said her visit to South L.A. felt like a homecoming.
“I think it was 1992 or three that I started Roots and Shoots in South Central,” she told the crowd. “It was a program I began in Tanzania and I wanted to know if it was going to work in inner cities.”
Dr. Goodall also spoke about her experience working with chimpanzees in Tanzania.
“They have a kind of war,” she told the crowd. “They actually can kill each other, but they also show love and compassion and altruism. So like us.”
