= La Memoria De Nuestra Tierra: California 1996 (collaboration) =

Brief Explanation of Artwork:
La Memoria De Nuestra Tierra: California 1996 is an eighteen-by-nine-foot rectangular mural, currently located in the University of Southern California's Graduate Student Lounge within the Ronald Tutor Campus Center. The mural was pained by artist Judy Baca in collaboration with students from the University of Southern California Roski School of Art and Design. This piece shows the Chicano history of southern California through the depiction of various images inspired by the native history of the land and the more modern conflicts and issues Latinos have suffered.

Santa Barbara Missions:
= Week 5 La Memoria De Nuestra Tierra ideas = California Proposition 196 (1996): This article is vague. It could be improved by adding additional information including the history of this proposition's origins, as well as the effects of its implication. I think it would be important to include the history of events leading up to the creation of this proposition.

Chicano Moratorium: This article would benefit from the inclusion of additional events and facts. Most notably the Silver Dollar Bar shooting and death of Ruben Salazar which played a significant role in the movement.

The San Fernando Valley Mission might also be a good article idea as it does not have an article yet and was a significant historic event.
