The Great Wall of Los Angeles represents the history of ethnic people in California from prehistoric times to the 1950s. Created by hundreds of community members working together with artists and historians over 5 summers, it stands as one of the largest and most respected monuments to inter-racial harmony in the country. Several of the murals depict important historical events like the forced removal of residents from Chavez Ravine to build Dodger Stadium or highlight themes like the strengths of Latino women and the need to preserve the environment.
