This mural, titled The Great Wall of
Los Angeles, is
one of the most
spectacular murals in Los Angeles. It portrays the history of California
from pre-history to now.
The history is shown from
the point of those who were here first, from those who built California, from
the working class, from non-Anglos. It was designed and painted primarily by
students. working through SPARC. Their Official
site has more info.
Located in Valley Glen (formerly
North Hollywood) on Coldwater
Canyon between Oxnard and Burbank, it
stretches for hundreds of yards in a flood control channel. Oddly, most people
don't even know it's there.
Each page has several photos, and starts
with the most recent history first.
The site is one of the PoliZeros
sites, which includes the PoliZeros weblog
and PoliZeros camblog.
