Today November 17, 2024 was the grand opening of the new wing NHM Commons at the Natural History Museum. It was also the unveiling a the mural L.A. History: A Mexican Perspective by Barbara Carrasco. The mural was commissioned in 1981 and started in 1982. It had been shelved then put in hiding until today. An extra treat for everyone was an interview with Barbara Carrasco and Dolores Huerta at the new Commons Theater.

The mural is 16' x 80' long and is located on the second floor of the new addition NHM Commons of the Natural History Museum GPS 34.0168311574588, -118.28952093208022 . It was commissioned by the Community Redevelopment Agency of Los Angeles City in 1981. The mural depicts 51 separate true events in LA history. The events depicted included the Japanese American internment, the whitewashing of Siqueiros's mural; América Tropical, and the Zoot Suit Riots. The CRA asked Carrasco to remove 14 of the images because they depicted acts of racism against people of color. She refused and CRA cancelled the project. They later tried to destroy the mural. Carrasco won a copyright lawsuit against CRA. The mural ended up in hiding in storage at the United Farm Workers offices until more recently.

USC Remembers: October 7th program and vigil, by Mary Cummins USC Alumni in Los Angeles, California


Attended the USC Remembers October 7th program and vigil today.Sponsors: USC Hillel, Chabad at USC, Trojans for Israel, Tikvah. Cosponsored by the USC Shoah Foundation, the USC Casden Institute, and the HUC-JIR Louchheim School for Judaic Studies. USC Dornsife, Hebrew Union College.  

The entire USC campus was locked down. Everyone had to show ID and it was scanned to get in. Doheny Library, Tommy Trojan, Hahn Plaza were gated off. There was lots of security. I saw one crazy blond lady on a bike yelling "Free Paleatine! From the river to the sea!"

Translation:

As for our brothers and sisters, the whole house of Israel, who are given over to trouble or captivity​, whether they abide on the sea or on the dry land:

May the All-prese​nt have mercy upon them, and bring them forth from trouble to enlargeme​nt, from darkness to light, and from subjectio​n to redemptio​n, now speedily and at a near time.

בית 1 ]

ביום שכל הרחובות יהיו לטובתנו

יהיו שם בשבילנו ולא של אחרים

גם אנחנו אז נוכל לצאת שלובי ידיים

לראות אז מעלינו שמים נקיים

[פזמון]

ואת, עכשיו את לא יודעת

אבל אני שמעתי - יש חיים טובים

שכל האנשים חיים בלי פחד

ונשארים ביחד, חיים פשוטים

[גשר 1]

[בית 2]

ביום שכל הרחובות יהיו לטובתנו

נוכל לצאת בערב לראות רק כוכבים

גם אנחנו אז נוכל לראות אז בעצמנו

את מה שלא הכרנו מעבר לגדר
