Description
Mural on a concrete wall alongside the freeway depicts a man hoeing, the Earth held by many hands of different colors, Chicanos behind a banner with the words "We Saved Our Murals!", and a brown fist breaking free of chains beneath the Mexican, Cuban, Palestinian, Israeli, U.S., and United Farm Workers flags.
