Monday Murals: Immigration is beautiful (AGAIN)

It's time to join Sami at Sami's Colourful World and her Monday Murals.  Please be aware that Sami's mural link goes live at 11:01 a.m. my time.  I had internet problems last week, but finally visited everyone by Friday.  I hope to do better this week.

This is another mural I looked for.  It is called "Immigration is beautiful."

It was originally painted in 2013 by a group of Wichita, Kansas (USA) high school students known as the Latin Leaders (LL) under the guidance of Armando Minjarez, who was also the founder of an art and education non-profit known as The Seed House/Casa de la Semilla.

This shows the mural being created by students in 2013.

However, in 2014 it was brutally attacked with the racist words "KKK is beautiful wet backs."

It didn't discourage these students, though.  They quickly got to work to remove the racist  graffiti.  Repair of the mural started immediately and the mural is once again beautiful.

Unfortunately, there are still bits of evidence of the vandalism.

This mural features a man and a woman with American and Mexican flags wrapped around them

looking past a border fence toward the promise of the Statue of Liberty. Part of the American flag shows what look like DREAMERS, undocumented youth brought to the States as children, and whom the U.S. Supreme Court recently gave a small hope that they might be able to stay, which defies Trump's promises to deport them.

This mural is located near 21st Street on Park Place in Wichita, Kansas (USA).

If you enjoy murals from around the world, please don't forget to visit Monday Murals at Sami's Colourful World.
