Candidate passages:
Chicago Lawn, to the east, was settled while the marshy land of West Lawn remained unsettled.
Some housing was built during the 1920s, but it still remained swampy land.
Houses were built during the 1930s which then reported German-Americans, Irish-Americans, Polish-Americans, Czech-Americans and Italian-Americans living in the area.
The area had been growing until the Great Depression, when the economy declined.
After World War II, growth continued and new houses and streets were built.
The Airport Homes Race Riots of 60th & Karlov in 1946 were intended to keep black people out of the area.
After the 1970s, more Mexican-Americans, Arab-Americans, Irish-Americans, and Polish immigrants started settling the area. 
The lynching of Mexicans and Mexican Americans in the Southwest has long been overlooked in American history.
This may be due to the fact that most historical records categorized Mexicans, Italians, Native Americans, and sometimes Chinese lynching victims as white.
It is estimated that at least 597 Mexican Americans were lynched between 1848 and 1928.
Mexicans were lynched at a rate of 27.4 per 100,000 of population between 1880 and 1930.
This statistic is second only to that of the African American community during that period, which suffered an average of 37.1 per 100,000 population.
Between 1848 to 1879, Mexicans were lynched at an unprecedented rate of 473 per 100,000 of population.
Most of these lynchings were not instances of "frontier justice"—of the 597 total victims, only 64 were lynched in areas which lacked a formal judicial system.
The majority of lynching victims were denied access to a trial while others were convicted in unfair trials.
During the California Gold Rush, as many as 25,000 Mexicans arrived in California.
Many of these Mexicans were experienced miners and had some success mining gold in California.
Some Anglos reacted with violence.
Between 1848 and 1860, at least 163 Mexicans were lynched in California alone.

The 1990 U.S. Census counted 200 Hmong persons in Rochester.
This increased to 300 by 1998.
Cathleen Jo Faruque, author of "Migration of Hmong to Rochester, Minnesota: Life in the Midwest," wrote in 2003 that there was "every indication that this trend will continue". 
Coaching career.
Rochester Americans (1999–2008).
During both years as a player, Cunneyworth acted as a player-assistant coach with the Rochester Americans, the Buffalo Sabres AHL affiliate during the 1999-2000 AHL season under head coach Brian McCutcheon.
After the season, Cunneyworth was named the head coach of the club.
In his first season as head coach with the team in 2000–01, Cunneyworth led the club to a 46–22–9–3 record, getting 104 points, and first place in the Mid-Atlantic Division.
In the playoffs, the Americans were upset by the Philadelphia Phantoms in four games in the first round.
In the 2001–02, the Americans slumped to a 32–30–15–3 record, earning 82 points and ninth in the Western Conference.
Cunneyworth was fined by the league for throwing a water bottle at referee Chris Rooney due to a disputed goal call vs Syracuse.
The Americans qualified for a best-of-three qualifying series with the eighth seeded Philadelphia Phantoms.
The Americans were then swept in two games, missing the post-season.
The Americans had another mediocre season in 2002–03, as the team finished the season with a 31–30–14–5 record, getting 81 points, and tenth place in the Western Conference.
The Americans faced the seventh place Milwaukee Admirals for a best-of-three qualifying series, and Milwaukee won the series two games to one to eliminate the Americans from post-season play.
Rochester improved during the 2003–04 season, earning a record of 37–28–10–5, recording 89 points and third place in the North Division.
In the playoffs, the Americans defeated the Syracuse Crunch and Hamilton Bulldogs before losing to the Milwaukee Admirals in the Western Conference finals.
In 2004–05, Rochester won the Macgregor Kilpatrick Trophy, as the Americans had the best record in the AHL with a 51–19–6–4 record, earning 112 points.
The Americans swept the Hamilton Bulldogs in the first round of the playoffs, however, Rochester was upset by the Manitoba Moose in the second round to end their season.
Cunneyworth was awarded with the Louis A.R.
Pieri Memorial Award as the AHL's Coach of the Year.
In the 2005–06, the Americans became the AHL affiliate of both the Buffalo Sabres and Florida Panthers.
The team struggled, finishing under .500 for the first time since Cunneyworth became the head coach, as Rochester went 37–39–2–2 for 78 points, fifth in the North Division, missing the playoffs.
The Americans rebounded in the 2006–07 season, earning a record of 48–30–1–1, registering 98 points, and second place in the North Division.
In the playoffs, Rochester lost to the Hamilton Bulldogs in the first round.
In 2007–08, the Americans struggled, going only 24–46–6–4, earning 58 points, which was the worst record in the league.
On July 24, 2008, Cunneyworth left his position of head coach of the Americans to take an assistant coaching job with the Atlanta Thrashers. 
According to a study by the Manhattan Institute in 2008, Vietnamese Americans are among the most assimilated immigrant groups in the United States.
While their rates of cultural and economic assimilation were unexceptional compared to other groups (perhaps due to language differences between English and Vietnamese), their rates of civic assimilation were the highest among all the large immigrant groups.
Vietnamese Americans, being political refugees, view their stay in the United States as permanent and became involved in the political process in higher rates than other groups.
As refugees from a Communist country, many Vietnamese Americans are strongly opposed to communism.
In a poll conducted for the "Orange County Register" in 2000, 71% of respondents ranked fighting communism as "top priority" or "very important".
Vietnamese Americans regularly stage protests against the Vietnamese government, its human rights policy and those whom they perceive to be sympathetic to it.
For example, in 1999, protests against a video store owner in Westminster, California, who displayed the current Vietnamese flag and a photograph of Ho Chi Minh peaked when 15,000 people held a vigil in front of the store in one night, causing debates regarding free speech.
Membership in the Democratic Party was once considered anathema among Vietnamese Americans because it was seen as less anti-communist than the Republican Party.
However, their support for the Republican Party has somewhat eroded in recent years, as the Democratic Party has become seen in a more favorable light by the second generation as well as by newer, poorer refugees.
However, the Republican Party still has overwhelming support; in Orange County, Vietnamese Americans registered Republicans outnumber registered Democrats at 55% and 22%, respectively, while the National Asian American Survey in 2008 showed that 22% identify with the Democratic Party while 29% identify with the Republican Party.
Exit polls during the 2004 presidential election show that 72% of Vietnamese American voters in the 8 eastern states polled voted for Republican incumbent George W. Bush compared to only 28% who voted for the Democratic challenger John Kerry.
In a poll conducted prior to the 2008 presidential election, two-thirds of Vietnamese Americans who made up their mind stated they would vote for the Republican candidate John McCain, in stark contrast to the other Asian American groups surveyed.
The Republican Party's particularly strong voice of anti-communism tends to make it more attractive to older Vietnamese Americans and first generation Vietnamese Americans, especially with their arrival to the US during the Reagan Administration.
Although most Vietnamese are registered Republican, most young Vietnamese lean toward the Democratic Party.
An AALDEF poll found that Vietnamese Americans from the ages of 18 through 29 favored Democrat Barack Obama by 60% during the 2008 Presidential Election.
Recently, Vietnamese Americans have exercised considerable political power in Orange County, Silicon Valley, and other areas.
Many have won public offices at the local and statewide levels in California and Texas.
One Vietnamese American, Janet Nguyen, serves on the Orange County Board of Supervisors, one has served as mayor of Rosemead, California and several serve or have served in the city councils of Westminster, Garden Grove, San Jose, and places as varied as Clarkston, Georgia.
In 2008, Westminster became the first city to have a majority Vietnamese American city council.
In 2004, Van Tran, a Republican candidate and Hubert Vo, a Democratic candidate, were elected to the state legislatures of California and Texas, respectively.
Viet Dinh was the Assistant Attorney General of the United States from 2001 to 2003 who was the chief architect of the USA PATRIOT Act.
In 2006, as many as 15 Vietnamese Americans were running for elective office in California alone, a sign of the growing maturity of the community.
For federal elective office, at least four candidates have run for a seat in the United States House of Representatives as their party's official candidate.
Some Vietnamese Americans have recently lobbied many city and state governments to make the former South Vietnamese flag instead of the current flag of Vietnam the symbol of Vietnamese in the United States, a move which raised objections from the Vietnamese government.
Their efforts resulted in the California and Ohio state governments enacting legislations to adopt that flag in August 2006.
From June 2002 onward, in the USA, 13 States, 7 Counties and 85 Cities have adopted Resolutions recognizing the yellow flag as the Vietnamese Heritage and Freedom Flag.
During the months following Hurricane Katrina, the Vietnamese American community in New Orleans, among the first to return to the city, rallied against a landfill used to dump debris near their community.
After months of legal wrangling, the landfill was closed, which the activists consider a victory, and the Vietnamese-American community in New Orleans became a political force.
In 2008, Anh "Joseph" Cao, a Katrina activist, won Louisiana's 2nd congressional district seat in the House of Representatives as a Republican, becoming the first Vietnamese American elected to Congress.
