What would you find on the Great Wall of Los Angeles?

While China may have its more famous Great Wall, the San Fernando Valley’s "Great Wall of Los Angeles" reflected similarly grandiose ambitions. As one of the largest murals in the world, stretching 2,754 feet, or over half a mile, it represents a sweeping people’s history of California, all within a single artwork.

"The Great Wall of Los Angeles" (also known as "The History of California") is a half-mile long mural depicting the history of California through images of significant figures and historic events from diverse and traditionally marginalized communities. The mural is painted on the west wall of the Tujunga Flood Control Channel in the North Hollywood area of the City of Los Angeles, California. "The Great Wall of Los Angeles" was completed between 1974 and 1984 by teams of young people and artist supervisors.
