The people of Mission District share the pain and the happiness of their friends and relatives in Latin America. The local art community of the Mission stays close to the area's culture and tradition. A local arts organization often leads people on walks through the district. The artists have strong feelings about the work they do. one artist explains that the artists of the Mission are fighting for fairness in the community. They're also fighting to help the environment. Here in the Mission District, these groups of artists maintain their cultural identity in traditional san Francisco style! Many of these artists feel that the mission is successful neighborhood where new immigrants are welcome. In the Mission District, people are often able to fit into a new society very easily, why?
