Cover illustration: Sonia Iris Gonzalez- Nunez and her children pose outside their four-bedroom, low-income townhome in a ritzy neighborhood in the North Shore suburb of Highland Park. Though the family has occasionally encountered the effects of racial prejudice, Gonzalez-Nunez adores her spacious two-story home in an area where her children can play outdoors in safety and security. This housing arrangement is featured in an article beginning on page 13. Pictured with their mother are Isabel, 4; Vivian, 6; Jesus, 10; Eloisa, 14; and Mike, 12.
