After a stirring speech by labor leader and civil rights activist Dolores Huerta, L.A. City Council voted unanimously on Wednesday to approve the installation of a monument to Mexican American traquero workers in Venice.
This vote marks many months of hard work from community volunteers to establish a monument celebrating the often unacknowledged history and contributions of Mexican Americans in Los Angeles.
The bronze sculpture was designed by Mexican artist Jorge Marin and depicts a traquero worker standing proudly on a railroad track holding hands with his family.
