Chicano Park is a 7.4-acre park located in San Diego City's Barrio Logan beneath the east-west approach ramps of the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge where the bridge bisects Interstate 5. The park was created in 1970 after residents in Barrio Logan participated in a 0́−takeover0́+ of land that was being prepared for a substation of the California Highway Patrol. Barrio Logan the second largest barrio on the West Coast until national and state transportation and urban renewal public policies, of the 1950's and 1960's, relocated thousands of residents from their self-contained neighborhood to create Interstate 5, to rezone the area from residential to light industrial, and to build the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge. The decision to build a substation for the California Highway Patrol on the site the community had identified for a park became the defining moment as the residents took it upon themselves to create their own lasting landmark, Chicano Park, a barrio logo in their own style. Since April 22, 1970, the park has been utilized by the Chicano community of San Diego as a place for social and political events. Its facilities include children's playgrounds, restrooms, a Kiosko or dance pavilion, picnic areas, multi-purpose courts, open play lawns, a raised plaza, community gardens, sculptures, fountain, and two small parking areas. The park is distinguished by murals painted on the pillars, abutments, and ramps of the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge. The Chicano Park murals consist of an assemblage of multiple vibrantly colored paintings on of the concrete pillars and two abutments that support the San Diego end of the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge. Forty of these murals painted on twenty-four of pillars, abutments and ramps were constructed during the height of the Chicano Civil Rights Movement. These murals and their iconography depict images of Mexican pre-Columbian gods, legendary icons and myths, botanical elements, animal imagery, the Mexican colonial experience, revolutionary struggles, cultural and spiritual reaffirmation through the arts, Chicano achievements, identity and bicultural duality as symbolized in the search for the "indigenous self," Mexican and Chicano cultural heroes and heroines and scenes based on contemporary Chicano civil rights history. Today over 100 murals decorate the pillars of the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge; however, the bulk of the murals were painted in the 1970's and 1980's, by the major Chicano artists of California. Barrio Logan's Chicano Park and the Chicano Park Murals appear to be eligible for the National Register under Criterion A at the local level of significance due to its critical association with the Chicano Civil Rights Movement and events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of the City of San Diego's political and social history. In 1997 Cherilyn Widell, California State Historic Preservation Officer concurred with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) 1996 State Historic Research Education Report for the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge that Chicano Park and the Chicano Park murals, although not yet 50 years old, meet the exceptional importance criterion for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and the California Register of Historical Resources. The San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge piers and supports that are grounded in Chicano Park are the "canvas" for the murals; the bridge must also be considered a contributing element of the Chicano Park murals.

Chicano Park in Barrio Logan has been an important cultural hub in San Diego for decades. Located underneath the Coronado Bridge, it is best known for its large, vibrant murals that depict a variety of Chicana/o themes and are painted on the pillars that support the bridge and other elevated roadways. This project explores the arguments and messages that these murals and the park itself communicate using Sonja Foss’s theory of visual rhetoric as the primary lens. Although some scholarly material has been published on Chicano Park, using this particular rhetorical approach allows for a unique understanding of the space and the murals of Chicano Park and how they communicate ideas and core values of Barrio Logan residents and Chicana/os. Generally, this project illustrates the social significance and the rhetorical importance of urban visual artifacts such as Chicano Park and its murals. Specifically, this analysis unpacks the ways that the visual elements of Chicano Park and its murals tap into Chicana/o symbols cultural values in order to create compelling narratives and arguments about Chicana/o history and identity.

Exploring three major hubs of muralist activity in California, where indigenist imagery is prevalent, Walls of Empowerment celebrates an aesthetic that seeks to firmly establish Chicana/o sociopolitical identity in U.S. territory. Providing readers with a history and genealogy of key muralists' productions, Guisela Latorre also showcases new material and original research on works and artists never before examined in print. An art form often associated with male creative endeavors, muralism in fact reflects significant contributions by Chicana artists. Encompassing these and other aspects of contemporary dialogues, including the often tense relationship between graffiti and muralism, Walls of Empowerment is a comprehensive study that, unlike many previous endeavors, does not privilege non-public Latina/o art. In addition, Latorre introduces readers to the role of new media, including performance, sculpture, and digital technology, in shaping the muralist's "canvas." Drawing on nearly a decade of fieldwork, this timely endeavor highlights the ways in which California's Mexican American communities have used images of indigenous peoples to raise awareness of the region's original citizens. Latorre also casts murals as a radical force for decolonization and liberation, and she provides a stirring description of the decades, particularly the late 1960s through 1980s, that saw California's rise as the epicenter of mural production. Blending the perspectives of art history and sociology with firsthand accounts drawn from artists' interviews, Walls of Empowerment represents a crucial turning point in the study of these iconographic artifacts.
