Ramona Gardens youth join Boyle Heights history tour

A local anthropologist and teacher took students on a tour of Boyle Heights history, telling stories along the way of the neighborhood's aesthetics and people.  The trip was arranged as an effort to bring youth together to share in their common history, as a method of preventing conflict between different groups of residents.  “Most people that live in Boyle Heights don’t know that we have a history, and if you don’t realize that and if you don’t own your history, then there’s nothing to preserve.”  Boyle Heights Beat.
