As such, it reveals that in Boyle Heights—like so many urban spaces—the golden dreams of generations of immigrant residents have collided with the ambitions of developers, city planners, business leaders, and transit authorities, shaping and reshaping the neighborhood's identity and landscape. The sound recording included was created by Jonathan Banfill, who recorded a continuous walk on Cesar Chavez from Evergreen Cemetery to the Golden State Freeway, May 1, 2016.
