People say it about South Central, about West Adams, about the streets surrounding campus, as if they are simply describing what they see. But the word “ghetto” is not neutral. Of course, USC students are not a monolith.

Los Troyanos bring more than spirit for Sunday’s Women’s Soccer match

Los espacios para el Judaísmo y la Latinidad en USC
Hoy día existen más de 750.000 judíos latinoamericanos, y más de la mitad viven en los Estados Unidos. Los judíos latinoamericanos principalmente descienden de los judíos sefardíes exiliados de España y Portugal en el siglo XV, y de los judíos asquenazis que, siglos después, tuvieron que huir del este de Europa ante el cresciente antisemitismo.
