Description
Stairway to global health, Lincoln Heights, 1991. Francisco Bravo Medical Magnet High School, exterior front, 1200 Cornwell Street (near Charlotte Street), Lincoln Heights. Health is broadly defined here, encompassing the health of the planet as well as individual health care. On the tallest wall is an indigenous healer, representing the ancient traditions. The present is in the hands of four students actively protecting our planet from environmental harm. The arc of the earth is the biggest element in the mural, but its segments only align when viewed across the street. Acrylic in cement, 4 panels on varying dimensions, by East Los Streetscapers (Wayne Healy, David Botello, Rich Raya), assisted by Lesley Grant, S. Transgrud, Daryl Wells, Christine Wada. Sponsored by Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Dept. -- Dunitz, Street gallery, rev. 2nd ed., p. 314, #81.
