We watched the movie "Cesar Chavez", that obviously talks about his life and how he changed every farmers life in the fields and raised their wages. The Movie is overral enjoyable and I would recommend it to anyone, it is funny and provides good information on Cesar Chavez's movement and protests.
We visited the "Centro Cultural de la Raza" in Balboa Park and we wrote facts about it and our own opinions. Here they're. The building is round and small but is very good with using space. Most of the place is filled with beautiful art painted by local painters and even famous painters. On the outside of the building, murals of beautiful art with meanings are seen. In the inside, a mural painted by a famous artist who visited Mesoamerica for it. The mural represents equality, how if there's good, there's evil. The Aztecs represent the good side, filled with nature and harmony. While the other side, represents war and soldiers. With blood and Death everywhere.
In my opinion, the Centro is a good place to go if you're a tourist. It is filled with beautiful paintings. These paintings represent the culture of life and can be entertaining to many people, including people who want to be artists. I would visit this place again if I was given the chance. The place is beautiful, awesome, and the staff are very kind and will give you a tour through the paintings of Mythical Creatures and the Mural inside and the paintings outside of the place. I would recommend visiting this place whenever possible.

We also visited Chicano Park, this park was mostly painted by Chicano's living in San Diego county in Barrio Logan. The park was originally going to be demolished, but the community worked together to stop the Bulldozers by standing in front of them, the bulldozers finally stopped and the people had been victorious. This park contains many paintings talking about the Chicano culture and how it came to be. Also talking about the Aztecs and the Spanish in one giant mural. This park has become widely known and is also visited a lot by people.
I believe this place is a good place to visit any day. If you are Chicano, you get to actually learn about your own culture and history, this makes you more versed in your own culture overall and allows you to teach your children. The park also contains many beautiful paintings done by painters and college students in San Diego. The park features many good side stories talking about every painting made and how every single painting has a purpose. I would visit this place any day if given the chance.

7th grade, also visited the Latino Film Festival. This festival is held on theatres and obviously show casts famous Latino Movies. We got to watch "Mi Mejor Regalo" which means my best gift/present. The festival is mostly visited by many schools and many Latino families.
The place is overall enjoyable and the movie they showed was very good. I am unsure when the festival is held but I would visit again. The movie was very good also, due to the plot and acting. Overall, I loved the trip to this festival and look forward to going again sometime soon.
