Anyone Work For H&r Block? How Much Extra Money Can I Really Hope To Make As A Seasonal Tax Preparer In Socal?

I keep seeing their class advertised, but am wondering if it is worth my financial investment, but more importantly, time investment? Will this class really prepare me to make some extra money? And what will the hours be like (what hours of the day will I have to be available to make a go of this?)? If anyone has information re: any of the locations close to Long Beach or the South Bay (as far away as Downey), let’s talk. Thanks.

Cities of Color:
The New Racial Frontier
in California’s Minority-
Majority Cities
ALBERT M. CAMARILLO
The author is a member of the history department at Stanford University. This was
his presidential address at the annual meeting of the Pacifi c Coast Branch, AHA, in
Stanford, California, in Au gust 2006.
Demographic changes of enormous magnitude have altered the ethnic and racial
composition of large cities and metropolitan suburbs across the nation over the past
thirty years, especially in California. Many cities and suburbs that were once home to
large majorities of whites are now places where ethnic and racial minorities form the
majority. “Minority-majority” cities in California have emerged as a new frontier in
ethnic and race relations, where African Americans, Latinos, and other non-white
groups now fi nd themselves, many for the fi rst time, living together and struggling
to coexist. Although confl ict, tension, and misunderstanding characterize this new
racial frontier, historians and other scholars must look deeper to fi nd examples of cooperation
and collaboration in these new “cities of color.” This article considers three
cities in California—Compton, East Palo Alto, and Seaside—as examples of the historical
and contemporary forces that have shaped “minority-majority” cities and the
relations between African Americans and Latinos in particular.
In the past decade or so, the national and local print and
visual media have made much of African American-Latino confl ict
at many levels—in politics, in education, in gangs, and in other
youth violence. For example, in a recent article titled “Black versus
Brown,” Newsweek focused on the contentious political climate
in the City of Lynwood, a municipality located between downtown
Los Angeles and Long Beach that over the past forty years went
from a white- to a black- to a Latino-majority community. The article
opened with a focus on Leticia Vásquez, the current mayor of
Lynwood, who recalled the racially charged politics in 1997, when
the new Latino majority in the city was mobilizing to gain control
of the black-run city council. Vásquez remembered “people knocking
on the door saying we needed to get rid of black city-council
