Preservation of historic assets in Watts has been a founding priority for FAM. Our accomplishments include successfully working to get the Mafundi Building designated a local Historic-Cultural Monument and placed on the National Register of Historic Places. FAM was also helpful in securing the designation for the Watts Fire Station No. 65. 

​

Currently FAM is working with the city and the Watts community to lead efforts to restore the Mafundi Building with funds from the National Trust's Conserving Black Modernism grant.
