The Return of "América Tropical"

"América Tropical," located at El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument in downtown Los Angeles, is the only U.S. public mural by famed Mexican artist David Alfaro Siqueiros still in its original location.
The Getty Conservation Institute and the City of Los Angeles engaged in a twenty-year collaborative project to conserve, interpret and provide public access to the mural.

"Siqueiros is here, and his gaze
retains all he has seen and been.
The flame of his truth is not extinguished,
nor has it been consumed by pain.
That hand that pushes forward, that is upraised,
it is not the cowering hand of the vanquished;
it is the hand that firmly traces on the wall
the image of ourselves which the future will behold."
--Jose Emiliano Pacheco, poet.
