Hello, we are reporting in about our day. Once in Boston we started our morning by meeting up with Javier Torres. Javier took us on a tour of Villa Victoria. In this location we learned about the developement of the comunity and what the citizens go through on a day to day basis. We also learned that their current issues are racism, violence, prejudece within the Latino community, and reaching out to other ethnicities that are in the area.

I learned that in certain communities there can still be racism within the same race. Some people of the same race view other people of the same race differently because they dress like different races or cultures.
Violence is a major factor in racism and in coming to the U.S. People don't like to feel invaded by other cultures. They will tell the people of other cultures to go back where they came from. The acts of violence aren't random. Unfortunately, they are targeted.
When we went to Villa Victoria i learned that even in comunities where there are mostly the same ethnicity you still have problems such as racism. I also learned that it is hard for people to come and learnt he language if they have never herd it. This place helps kids learn and speak the language. This is a good place for people to go.
I like the Villa Victoria comunity alot. I liked what they did for the lower class imigrants who come to this comunity. I learned that there was alot of gang violence before and after Villa Victoria was running they took care of alot of the problems. The neighborhood was very nice and clean. The houses that are there are much nicer than what i expected them to be.
