Description
An assortment of animals, a lake in a valley, a pickup truck, and a campesino with a computer and school materials. "This view is from Washington Street, mural is in its first work process. Mural designs were provided by students from 5 Escondido schools. Salvador and Gloria Torres interpret these designs into mural works. The Felicita Foundation sets up community meetings to discuss this project. Young Chicana and Chicano students warn the committee of threats of vandalism if the mural project continues." Salvador Torres. This mural was defaced by racist vandalism on June 6, 1990. Torres boycotted the restoration, which was carried out by unknown artists. Later, the mural was removed by the city of Escondido without notice to Torres.
