Andrew Chavez
Spending holidays and summers at grandmother’s house. Lincoln Heights is a place where people still have deep roots, where parents attended schools still standing, shops and landmarks are still places that current resident stroll by, memories about being touched by social movements and boycotts, as well as changes dictating and shaping the neighborhood to as it stands today.

Listen to Andrew’s mother recollect a changing neighborhood and the time her mother lost her wedding ring.
Listen to Andrew’s father here.
