Going down to San Diego anytime soon? You will not want to miss Chicano Park.
http://www.chicanoparksandiego.com/
Chicano Park houses the largest collection of Chicano murals anywhere in the world. The value of such a body of work has been notoriously overlooked and down-played for decades. The pillars in Chicano Park are not merely concrete and steel supports for a bridge, but diligently executed works completed by numerous artists over a period of nearly three decades. The murals combine with the surrounding land to form a powerful art pieced that communicates not only ancestral history, but the long and often turbulent history of Chicano Park itself.
