 This great wall, this expansive mural, was born out of the artistic vision of Judy Baca. How could I make something that mattered, that was actually contributing to the larger struggle for the change that we needed to have, that recognized our people's contributions, that advanced the civil rights, particularly for the Latino community. In the mid-1970s, Baca was approached by the Army Corps of Engineers about beautifying the Tujunga Flood Control Channel.
