Description
In the mural on Fairmont (POR QUE), the Virgin is overseeing a Latino youth dying from street violence in the arms of two friends as the grim reaper stands at his feet specter-like. In the all-brown ROOTS on Fickett Street, the trunk of the tree is composed of figures and faces representing aspects of Chicano history.
