Alvia Wilson picked up her daughter Lanieca from Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School. “I am an immigrant. I work hard. I’ve never been arrested. I became a citizen. I never looked for handouts. But I need help.”

Martha’s Vineyard was portrayed as rich, white, and elite, but there’s another side to the island

Many of the 20,000 year-round residents struggle to make ends meet, housing is desperately scarce and increasingly unaffordable, and the growing number of immigrants is rapidly diversifying the population.
