INTRODUCTION This Web site aims to present the history of Los Angeles, as reflected through the experiences of Mexicans depicted in street murals. By clicking the timeline at the bottom of the page, you can find information on the settlement of the city, the challenges of Mexican immigration during the early 1900s, and the Zoot-Suit Riots. The Murals section contains a description of The Great Wall of Los Angeles. The directory of links provides leads to additional information. I hope you find Los Angeles: Painted City informative and interesting. Please e-mail questions and comments. Noemi Garcia |
