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.
