ABOUT THE PROJECT
"Sometimes god sends you to a country where it’s rich, but God put us in a country that’s poor and that’s the difference.” - Pedro Bascilio, Mexican migrant farm worker
The Hispanic population of Fredericksburg, Virginia has tripled in the past six years since 1999. Latinos move into suburban Virginia in search of work, cheaper housing and safer neighborhoods. Their presence is changing the way the community looks and feels.
