In
the 1970's, I became one of the first members of the Galeria
de la Raza of San Francisco, and helped them establish a permanent location.
This was during the beginning of the 'Chicano
Art Movement' and the
Galeria was involved in a number of political causes. I painted a billboard/mural
in protest of the closing of the |
|
'International
Hotel' in San Francisco and another billboard protesting the death
of Danny
Trevino of San Jose who was killed while in police custody.
I also painted murals concerning keeping the streets clean and the
importance of maintaining a healthy diet. |
