Lawrence en  breves datos:

Lawrence is located in the northeastern corner of Massachusetts, in the picturesque Merrimack River Valley.  According to the 2010 U.S. Census, the city had a total population of 76,377. Surrounding communities include Methuen to the north, Andover to the southwest, and North Andover to the southeast. 73.8% of the population is Hispanic or Latino, mainly from the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. According to the U.S. census, the Latino population in Lawrence grew by 300% from 1980 to 1990. Lawrence is described as having a compact, inner-city, blue-collar population.

Lawrence’s rich industrial history, marked by a strike in 1912 that formed the basis for child labor laws in the United States, has earned the city recognition as a National Historic Landmark. The mills continue to draw unskilled, immigrant labor, although the textile companies have long since moved South. Other ethnic groups still strong in Lawrence include French Canadian, Italian, Irish, Vietnamese and Lebanese.

As a true American tapestry, Lawrence has been affected by the recent recession. There is widespread poverty and unemployment, particularly among the Latino population, producing a number of socio-economic problems that impact on healthcare. Nevertheless, the energy and aspirations of this group brings great hope to community efforts.

Before the March 1912 congressional investigation of the Lawrence strike, “When we eat meat it seems like a holiday, especially for the children”. The mortality rate  for children was 50% by age six; 36 out of every 100 men and women who worked in the mill died by the time they reached 25.
