Vibrant murals adorn many of the walls within San Antonio’s West Side. They celebrate the area’s Chicano culture and history with bright colors, beautiful designs, and empowering imagery.
One particular mural has been inspiring kids to stay in school for decades. Educación was painted by local artists Cruz Ortiz and Juan Ramos to call attention to the gang violence within the West Side. Its symbolism speaks volumes.
