"El Cuatro" Photographs, 1975

Note by the artist: "The photographs in this series were taken during the month of March 1975 in the southwest part of Laredo, Texas, en el barrio 'El Cuatro.' In photograph #1 the people living next to the Hilton, on the east side, refused to sell or move. Till this date, July 20, 1978, they still live there."

"El progreso no necesariamente indica el mejoramiento de la gente. Muchas veces es la desaparición de un barrio. La gente es nomas trasladada a otra parte de la ciudad--olvidada."
