Logan Heights/Barrio Logan is a place where many immigrants from Mexico decided to start their lives. Many began to buy homes in Barrio Logan because of the sense of belonging. In 1963, when the city of San Diego began construction of the I-5, this separated the neighborhood. The people wanted to protest but didn’t feel like their time would actually be effective. In 1968, construction began on the Coronado Bridge, and once again, the neighborhood was divided. However, this time things were different. Thanks to the Civil Rights Movement and the Chicano Movement, the people of Barrio Logan were able to protest. This was important because “Barrio Logan was, to its residents, an outgrowth of their hopes and struggles, and therefore something to be fought for” (Amer 7). Barrio Logan isn’t just a place that you can build something over and expect the people to sit back and let it happen. The people rose to the occasion and protested. Chicano Park is still a very important place because of culture and identity. In an interview with Delia Hogaboom, a San Diego State student who feels out of place in the predominantly white campus, she talked a lot about how she found Chicano Park when she was feeling really down about her culture. “I come from a predominantly hispanic community, so when I came here. It was a shock. I’m so happy I found Barrio Logan and was able to connect with people that look like me. Just sitting in the park and being here makes me feel at home.” (Hogaboom). Unfortunately, this is the case for many Chicanos at San Diego State. Fortunately,  Chicano Park and Barrio Logan serve as a place where they can feel comfortable in their own skin.
