The Chicano Mural



4455 University Drive, Student Union Bldg., University of Houston, Houston, TX, 77204



Previously known as “The Chicano Student Mural,” Mario Gonzales and Ruben Reyna completed “La Marcha por la Humanidad” during the summer of 1973. The mural was painted during the Chicano Civil Rights Movement and it depicts the social sentiments of its times representing the past, present, and future inner struggles against acculturation. The artists said that their intention was to “educate the modern Chicano, but also to educate everyone to the plight of the Chicano today” adding that they are representing the injustices in the system that “fails to recognize them.” This mural is one of the twelve Latino and Latin American artists works in the permanent collection of the vast Public Art University of Houston System. It is one of the earliest and most well-preserved Chicano murals painted at a university in the U.S.
