Description

The Chicano Park Murals Documentation Project was born as a result of the Department of Ethnic Studies with support from the Office of Community Service Learning at the University of San Diego (USD) through working collaboratively with the Chicano Park Steering Committee (CPSC) for over two years. It was the desire of the CPSC that the mural restoration project be documented along with all of the other historic murals and sculptures found at Chicano Park. As a result, Professor Alberto Pulido, along with his students in Ethnic Studies 343: “Chicano/Latino Studies” took on the task as a way to learn about the important history of the Chicano movement through the history of Chicano Park utilizing an applied scholarship perspective that is central to the Ethnic Studies curriculum at the University of San Diego.
