Monday Mural: history at a glance

This wonderful mural is found at an alternator shop in East Oakland.  The mural highlights important events or people in Mexican history.  Not surprisingly, East Oakland has a large Latino population.  They also have a nifty mural inside the entrance which I'll post later.

  4. Story-telling is the thread that keeps our past in the present. What better way than a mural? This is great.
