The subject of multiculturalism in the United States is more important today than ever. Currently, Latinos and African-Americans make up the majority population in 35 of the largest 50 U.S. metropolitan cities. Using Boyle Heights, the oldest neighborhood in East Los Angeles as an example, East LA Interchange explores its history, challenges, and triumphs throughout its 40 years as a multiethnic community. By showing this extraordinary neighborhood throughout its multiethnic history, we see how residents faced their racial and religious differences in school, on the street, and next door. Can understanding Boyle Heights' past change the United States' multicultural future?

  • I was born in Boyle Heights, went to Harrison St. Grammar School, that was about 72 years ago. The world is now a different place!!!!

  • This is awesome. I grew up in Boyle Heights and to know that someone is featuring my home town in such a beautiful way....well thank you. It brings a smile to my face and my heart.

    

  • We have this unique element of being part of the Mighty Rough Rider famliy and the love we all have for our "barrio" Boyle Heights that needs to be shared not only with our nation, but the entire world. We represent the good of a community that came together, no matter what racial background.
