We Love The Bronx
The Bronx has a reputation from the 1970s, but it’s not like that any more. Now the problem is gentrification.
For the record, we got the blame, but it wasn’t our fault. The Bronx was a place you moved to when your family become middle class. It was moving on up.
The problems started when New York City Commissioner Robert Moses destroyed healthy neighborhoods to build the Cross-Bronx Expressway. The construction divided communities and caused a lot of abandonment. Property owners began burning their own buildings for the insurance money.
The 1970s were fifty years ago. The Bronx is beautiful. It is still a cultural forge.
We ❤️ The Bronx!
Bronx Demographics
The Bronx is over 54% Latin (“Redistricting NYC: Demographic Change and the Hispanic Community” (2022) by Carlos Vargas-Ramos and Jorge R. Soldevila Irizzary of the Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College. centropr.hunter.edu).
We are mostly Dominican (41%), Puerto Rican (33%), Mexican (10%), Ecuadorian (4%) and Honduran (3%).
Three generations after the “Great Migration” of the 1950s, Puerto Ricans are moving out. Dominicans and Central Americans are moving in.
That’s the immigrant experience. The first generation knows the heritage language and culture. The second knows both. The third generation is fully American.
Never forget where we come from. It’s your superpower. Get as much education as you can. It helps you succeed as an American.
