A visit to my parents homeland
By Armando Arroyo
Not too long ago I decided to take a trip to the state of Michoacan
to gain some awareness about my parents' origins. Growing up I have
always had nostalgic dreams of someday returning to Michoacan,
known throughout Mexico for its landscape of lakes and mountains.
Mexico offers a plethora of fascinating cultural beauty.
No doubt in East Palo Alto that same influence is seen
throughout the city. So many residents here come from Michoacan that
from the local markets to the foods we eat this heritage connects us all.

County seeks resident input for new provider selection
By Regina Thompson
Staff Coordinator for
One East Palo Alto
San Mateo County has had a long standing commitment to support underserved

transportation, housing, advocacy and other essentials.
In a city like East Palo Alto, provision of these services becomes a lifeline for many.
One East Palo Alto, in conjunction with the County, the City, El Concilio
and the Peninsula Community Foundation, convened a community meeting on Saturday,
December 11th, to seek input on future delivery of core emergency services
in East Palo Alto. Over 100 residents turned out to speak their minds.

this question, "Why do we need to remember Dr. King's birthday?"
Is it because his life was ended at 39 years of age? Do we remember
Dr. King because of the many times he went to jail, or do we remember
his non-violent doctrine of passive resistance?
As an African American, I believe that there is not just one reason to remember Dr. King.

Livin' It Up - MLK Style

|
By the Eastside College Preparatory School staff
With the closing of Ravenswood, East Palo Alto's only high school, in 1976,
students from East Palo Alto and eastern Menlo Park were then bused to
high schools in other communities as far away as Belmont.
In the Fall of 1996, Eastside College Preparatory School was founded
to bring a high school back to East Palo Alto.
