Description
"Restoration in 1984, Chicano Arts Council Inc. San Diego artists. Ramses Noriega, Tomas Castaneda, Gloria and Salvador Torres and other volunteers. Note nude figure above Ruben Salazar and Ortiz. This complementary orange color to the Titanium Blue center span changes. The mural becomes vandalized several times, paint bombs, graffiti, fading and peeling. Proline paints fade, Nova Color is introduced by the Chicano Park Arts Council, paints run out, and artist need to work to keep family units supported, "Cool Blues" replace the arm yellow oranges. The names of the heros and martyrs are not complete. Some figures were destroyed by graffiti, and vandalism, some were voted {some figures replace others. Some are censored for racial reasons. Dr Martin Luther King is painted out. Salvador Torres documents these changes as they occur.} to be replaced as larger figures in other column spaces. Carlos Santana for one." Salvador Torres
