Sacramento�s Southside Park neighborhood sits south of California�s state capitol and north of the Old City Cemetery. Built on a former slough; it was inhabited by generations of immigrants and working-class families. The neighborhood�s many ethnic communities; including Portuguese; Italian; Mexican; and Japanese; came together in Southside Park; the neighborhood�s namesake. Whether for fireworks displays on the Fourth of July; for a trip back to Gold Rush days at Roaring Camp; or simply to paddle the lake in a rented boat; Southside Park provided a place of respite and recreation in this bustling city. The neighborhood surrounding the park faced many challenges as Sacramento grew�including freewayconstruction; urban renewal and redevelopment; and problems with crime�but its residents faced these challenges with a tradition of political activism; community participation; and a strong sense of civic pride that is still evident today.

Great comprehensive history of an incredible collegeBy Lady LuckThis book is a great comprehensive history of a college that had to overcome tremendous odds to get back on its feet and survive. I was a student at Marshall during these difficult times and I found the book a great history of what happened and a tribute to the spirit of a great school.
