| Title | Village pride with sights high, Long Beach, 1992 |
| Description | Village pride with sights high, Long Beach, 1992. Drake Park Community Center, exterior, 10th Street and Maine Avenue, Long Beach. The theme is unity through the strength of diversity. The mural revolves around a tree, the trunk of which is the joined hands of a man and woman looking up from below. Roots of different colors intertwine. A secondary theme is the power of education, represented in part by a staircase of books. Acrylic, 60' x 20', by Ricardo Mendoza with youth assistants. Sponsored by Long Beach Dept. of Parks and Recreation. -- Dunitz, Street gallery, rev. 2nd ed., p. 264, #52. |
