Although art has been seen as a way of freedom of speech; it did not begin to show up until the 1960’s when their art made by minorities started to be appreciated. MOLAA museum shows an important aspect of U.S. history.
Upon visiting the Huntsville Museum of Art, I was very surprised to find all of the tremendous galleries that were currently up at the museum. In addition, after exploring the entire museum there was one gallery that really intrigued me, and this was the gallery of Antoine Ponchin and his son Jos. Henri Ponchin. What made the Ponchin gallery so interesting to me was both the father and the son were landscape artist. Moreover, both Ponchins travelled to many locations to paint magnificent pictures. Choosing a picture to paint about from this gallery was a challenge for me mainly because both Antoine and Jos.
Visiting around Little Saigon, I easily found out that the heart of Little Saigon is located on Bolsa Avenue between Westminster Boulevard and Magnolia Avenue. This is a famous tourist attraction that most Vietnamese people must visit when they travel to California. It is not difficult at all to try Vietnamese traditional cuisines since both sides of the street are packed with restaurants that serve typically traditional foods such as Pho, Egg Rolls, Banh Mi, etc. Furthermore, Vietnamese people also get access to other services such as bank, health care centers, shops, entertainments, legal-aid services and many other services at ease. In addition, major contribution to the fame of Little Saigon is the presence of Asian Garden Mall, which is also called Phuoc Loc Tho.
Some people would describe San Francisco as a compilation of villages and it 's a good resemblance. If you went strolling around, you would discover little neighbourhoods all over the city, each with their own personality and multicultural influences. Some of the well-known ethnic neighbourhoods includes, Chinatown, Little Saigon, Koreatown, Japantown, the Mission district or home to Spanish speaking community and Little Russia. Sadly, I only managed to visit Chinatown. San Francisco 's Chinatown is the oldest Chinatown in North America and one of the largest Chinese communities outside Asia.

The Mission, claimed by many as the heart of the city, has become the most attractive location for tech companies looking to swoon in on the proximity of the location and low housing costs. Airbnb and Dropbox are just some of the tech companies that have moved in and disrupted the aura of the neighborhood. The community walls are decorated with murals that give the area it’s own identity. The mission is primarily host to an enormous Latino community that has faced the effects of gentrification since the early seventies. “The Mission community first faced the threat of gentrification in the late seventies as wealthy Arab and Asian families began purchasing large parcels of land in the area”(Phillips).
Inside there’s the typical tourist items but what intrigues me the most would be the gallery walk. The gallery walk features many images of Native American culture; there's ones of the wool woven blankets, headdresses the men wore, and the inside of the small homes similar to forts called “hogans.” There's also writings that are in the Navajo language that my grandma translates to me. After the end of this unique experience I learn more about my culture, visit family I don't often get to see, and lastly an experience of a
California is the “beauty of the eye of the beholder” since all people who come from different background, race, and religion are able to set their own dreams without being criticized. People especially immigrants have viewed California as the “land of opportunity,” which influenced them to leave everything behind in their hometown, to sacrifice their time and to focus on their dreams. Despite the fact that California was lauded as a utopian society, people soon found out that they were going through endeavors and couldn’t overcome them quickly as possible. In fact, Mr. Rawls wanted to express the grievances, struggles, and success that people endure in their rise to the California dream in his short essay, “California: A Place, A People,
