Abstract
The term gentrification has been utilized to describe economic innovation as well as displacement. Currently cities across the United States are facing issues of gentrification. Various
populations have historically settled, moved, been displaced and relocated throughout the city. For this research I will be focusing on two specific historically Latino neighborhoods in the city of Chicago: Humboldt Park and Pilsen. Latinos are one of the populations that have
come to suffer from serial displacement in the city. Presently, gentrification has become a threat to these communities. Initiatives and coalitions have been created to defend the communities from being torn apart and displacing community members while simultaneously maintaining their identities as Latino communities.
The TRiO McNair journal is a culmination of research conducted by student scholars and their facutly representatives through the Ronald E. McNair Scholars Program.
