Description: Slides document the mass media response to the poster, which commented on the plight of undocumented and low wage workers. It was displayed on 100 San Diego Transit buses and resulted in controversy. The issues became complicated by the city's refusal to name a convention center after Martin Luther King. Detail of installation piece based on the controversy depicts headshots of the three artists and two quotes pertaining to them.
