This booklet contains maps of Chicano Park column locations where the monumental murals are found." A poem entitled "James Fisher Meets Chicano Park" by Phil Goldvarg accompanies this slide: "The soul of James Fisher meets Chicano Park/ in a multicolored embrace/ known as abrazo/ los murales impacted his eyes,/ a ghetto memory/ where communication was survival/ and vision lived on walls/ and the air of down home cooking,/ James could see that brown/ was not so far from black/ and oppression was an obsession/ charished [sic] by a common enemy,/ Chicano Park colores wrapped James/ in corazón heat,/ had his heart/ seriously talking to stone bridges/ and gardens of cement/ that sang cuentos de la historia/ y suenos of strong eyed ancestors,/ the soul of James Fisher met Chicano Park/ y la alma de Chicano Park/ y la alma de Chicano Park met James Fisher/ and they both recognized each other."
