Uneven Arms Race

Another group looted a nearby Starbucks,

and threw bags of coffee beans and bagels

at the officers, who formed a perimeter

around City Hall.

Tactical officers eventually arrived,

pushing the protestors back

using bikes and metal barricades.

Mexican painter David Alfaro Siquerios unveiled “America Tropical” in 1932. When the art work dedicated to the Chicano people was unveiled, viewers were shocked. He was then expelled from the country because of his revolutionary views. 

 At the center, a Mexican Indian is bound to a double cross with the American eagle (a symbol of the American dollar) resting above his head. Among Mayan ruins and gnarls of rainforest, two soldiers creep in from the corner.

“There are still those who may try, in whatever ways available to them, to minimize or whitewash that fact out of existence. But the Chicano Movement has brought too many of us together, and we have become too strong to be completely silenced or dismissed.” (David F. Gomez)

Messy Society

The Spanish artist named Luis Quiles created a powerful work this up, because he wants to make us realize the bottom of my heart, that the society around us today, it’s messy.

"I write messages on money. It's my own form of social protest, and a federal crime. A letter printed on paper that no one will destroy. I hope that someone will find my message one day when they really need it. Passed indiscriminately across race, class, and gender lines. And written in the blood that keeps the beast alive. A quite little hijacking on the way to the check-out counter. Like i do"
