The panels read right to left and cover pre-Columbian society, the Spanish conquest and colonialism, Mexican independence and the rise of a new ruling class, the Mexican Revolution and the contemporary Chicano Family. In acrylic on stucco, 5 panels, 20' x 90' by Los Dos Streetscapers (Wayne Healy and David Botello).
