of the best answer on numbers 1-4 and write your answer of the question on number 5 on the space

Pilsen is an old community in Chicago with a long history. This part of Chicago started small and got bigger, as most
neighborhoods in the city did. Its cultural history is about moving, changing, and connecting. Many people have moved there
over the decades. This movement started when immigrants chose to settle in this part of the city when Chicago was growing
rapidly. An immigrant is a person who moves from one country to another. Pilsen’s first people spoke German. They had
moved from Germany. If you go to Pilsen today you will see some of the places they built. But when they first moved there,
it had just a few homes. Then immigrants continued to migrate there; newcomers moved to Pilsen so they could be near
people who came from the same country.
 Many immigrants found homes and jobs in Pilsen, and it was a time of challenge and change for them. They had to
figure out how to live in the new country. They had to find a place to live, and they needed employment for income. They
worked on railroads and on docks along the Chicago River, loading and unloading lumber, and in factories, too. They had a

lot to do to make a home in their new country, and it was not easy to accomplish the changes. Cooperation and
collaboration were important for the progress of each family and the whole community.
The newcomers-built churches, created gardens, opened stores, and set up newspapers. The newspapers were
published in their own language, and they were a way to educate the newcomers about their own community and the city
through articles and editorials. Many entrepreneurs opened businesses, and soon the community was bustling. Some social
workers supported this progress, they guided the immigrants who kept coming to the community. They set up settlement
houses, where people could learn English and get help finding work and housing. But then there was movement out of the
community, it was a local migration to suburbs and other parts of the city. People were looking for more opportunities. As
the population declined, businesses closed.
Then there was another movement into Pilsen, which you’ll see a symbol of if you go to 1831 South Racine today.
There you will find Casa Aztlan, which is a Mexican-American center. About 50 years ago, many Mexican-Americans moved
to Pilsen from another part of Chicago—so the community was renewed. They liked the buildings, they wanted to create a
Mexican-American community. They joined the churches of Pilsen. To avoid conflict, leaders of the Mexican Americans and
European Americans talked about ways to collaborate to continue Pilsen’s progress. One way the two groups worked
together was to create murals, which are enormous paintings on walls. Pilsen has many beautiful murals created during that
period. When you see those murals, you will notice that there are symbols of Germany and other European countries as
well as representations of Mexican history. They are inter-cultural art that represents the connections that were made
through that collaboration.
Pilsen used to be called the “Heart of Chicago” when people first settled there, then there was an exodus. But
through the second migration, it became the “Heart of Chicago” again, this time for families from Mexico. People opened
businesses, and Mexican American community groups supported the community’s families. Now as in the past there still are
organizations that help people who move to this part of Chicago.
A heritage is a legacy; it comes from the past and influences the present. The Mexican Americans have a rich
heritage from their own country and from their experience in Pilsen. Each August, the community has a special day. It is the
Fiesta Del Sol, a gathering that includes the Mexican Americans and people from all over the metropolitan area. People who
used to live in Pilsen return come and see the changes. They see their own heritage, as well, in the murals.
