520    The five women profiled in We Are Eagles are among the 
       inspiring immigrants who left behind poverty and gained 
       confidence and strength as they learned about life through
       a new language at the Dominican Literacy Center in the 
       Chicago area. The lives of these women took shape during 
       the first 25 years of the center as they reached 
       milestones that many others took for granted. They also 
       saw their children grow without the fear of poverty or 
       hunger and become the first generation in their families 
       to graduate high school and college. The center, which 
       started inside a church basement, has since expanded to a 
       large building and then spun off a second center. Today, 
       the Dominican Literacy Center is a bustiling learning 
       community that has taught thousands of immigrants the 
       baffling language of American English.
