Getting Down and Dirty!: Community Gardens

"Many neighborhoods have ugly, problem places. That doesn't mean these places have to stay ugly forever! Across the country, many people are identifying ugly places and changing them by turning them into beautiful community gardens. By turning unsightly lots into gardens, some communities have seen a change in the neighborhood. People who would have moved away are staying and getting to know their neighbors better. This in turn helps make the neighborhood safer."

Hopes Fulfilled: The Irish Immigrants in Boston

"The Potato Famine started the Irish people moving to the United States. For many, the trip ended at Boston, Massachusetts. There, they had to find a place to stay and a job. At first it was easy because they knew English. The Irish in Boston worked together politically and in 1885 elected the first Irish mayor of Boston. As the years passed, the Irish became more successful in their adopted country."
