It's that time of year in Southern California when we get to see and honor the rich Mexican traditions of Día de los Muertos. And thanks to a team of Latino staffers at the LA Times, anyone can take part in the ritual of creating an altar for loved ones — digitally. The LA Times Latino staffers were inspired to do this project because of the Día de los Muertos altars at Grand Park in downtown LA and at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. The Oscar-winning Pixar film "Coco" helped introduce a new generation to Día de los Muertos. Watch "LA Times Today" at 7 and 10 p.m. Monday through Friday on Spectrum News 1 and the Spectrum News app.
