El Paso, Texas, and Juarez, Mexico, straddle the Rio Grande River. Because of the proximity to Mexico, eighty percent of El Paso’s residents are of Hispanic descent. El Segundo Barrio stands adjacent to the Rio Grande and the Mexican border. In the 19th century, it was an Anglo settlement. In the early 20th century, Mexican immigration into Texas began, and El Segundo Barrio was often the first stop. It is still among the poorest neighborhoods in the nation, yet for visitors, it offers a look at the essence of a culture. This mural, dominating the façade of Sacred Heart Church, tells the story of these immigrants. Every day, people come here to rest, converse, or just sit in the setting sun. This image tells such a story.
