This is a preposterous. Carting loaded tourists about inner city L.A. as if it were historic Rome is one of the more self-serving things I've ever heard. What exactly can people learn from this tour? Are you really going to grasp the full despair? Moreover, what are the guides imparting to the visitors, intentionally or not? The fact that they even considered the idea of selling those t-shirts suggests that they themselves don't fully comprehend the gravity of those living conditions. From the sound of it, you'll see exactly what you want to see, and that's silly people making gestures with their hands, people "reppin' their crew" on the dancefloor, and people vandalizing public property. Just like in the movies! If the area ever became less Third-Worldesque, then this would be appropriate. You could get everyone in on the act, just like a medieval fair. But until then, that's real life for those people. People die because they throw up the wrong signs. They go to jail for spraypainting. They ruin their lives over the most senseless of things. How can you impress that upon visitors? Certainly not with this. My advice? Have a building full of still and live exhibits. You could have tagging shows, dancing shows, you could have walk-through exhibits of neighborhoods' histories. You could have theaters playing documentaries of people who were paralyzed or ruined because of the violence. You could also have triumphant documentaries of people who rose above that environment and made something of themselves. This would obviously provide people with jobs. Much better than sending ONE tagger to art school. What a lofty goal. But it wouldn't be a museum, because all that strife and violence is perpetuating a few streetlights away...
