Cherokee Street is named after the Cherokee Tribe of Indians who were considered the most educated and civil. The Cherokee Indian is the symbol of honesty and fair dealing. That is the tradition that runs deep on this street which has a rich legacy of architectural variety and loyalty from residents nearby and now a thriving Latinx Community.
The Cherokee Street Development League commissioned me to paint a mural , which has recently received a historic marker sign for Calle Cherokee, recognizing the important cultural and economic contribution of Mexican Americans to the revitalization of the commercial corridor called Cherokee Street.
The mural shows the historical timeline of Cherokee Street and portions of the mural play homage to the streetcar and other historical landmarks.
Finally, the migration of the Monarch Butterfly is shown in a map of the Americas as a symbol of how all living things on earth do not have geographical boundaries that mother earth is for all living beings including us human beings.
