I wonder how much business was done among L.A. business leaders at the California Cub before 1988...maybe some privileged people got a 100-year head start?
before In February 1988, the California Club admitted its first black member in the person of
Joseph L. Alexander, 58-year-old surgeon and former Army colonel. The club also approved
Ivan J. Houston, the chief executive officer of the predominantly black
Golden State Mutual Life Insurance Company. A "number of Jews" were said to have been admitted in recent years as well.
