The faces are men and women, young and old, expressing joy, defeat, and everything in between. The raised fist in the top of the hat places the print in the context of worker and communal solidarity, making the ordinary jornalero a reflection of the unity and alliance among Latino workers throughout the nation.plain2021-10-11T10:26:18-07:002012Self Help Graphics & ArtIn Copyright - Educational Use Permitted (This Rights Statement can be used only for copyrighted Items for which the organization making the Item available is the rights-holder or has been explicitly authorized by the rights-holder(s) to allow third parties to use their Work(s) for educational purposes without first obtaining permission.)34.0502898 , -118.2117257Alfredo BurgosCourtesy of Self Help Graphics & ArtCurtis Fletcher3225f3b99ebb95ebd811595627293f68f680673e

The stories told here spotlight communities little featured in traditional narratives of the city and county history. They include activism by the Chumash people, who predate California as a state, seeking to ensure the continuity and visibility of their history in Malibu. It also includes stories of African-American communities, Japanese-American communities, and activists defending the rights of day-laborers and street-vendors.structured_gallery2021-10-22T11:12:57-07:00Curtis Fletcher3225f3b99ebb95ebd811595627293f68f680673e
