Join us for the launch of children's book "Barrio Rising: The Protest That Built Chicano Park" by María Dolores Águila, illustrated by Magdalena Mora.
"Barrio Rising" is a vivid historical fiction account of the community activism behind San Diego’s Chicano Park—home to the largest outdoor mural collection in the U.S.—and just one example of the Mexican American community’s rich history of resistance and resilience.
Also available in Spanish/también disponible en español: El barrio se levanta

Barrio Logan is a place with a strong pulse that has been kept beating by generations of Chicanx & Indigenous people. We are grateful to be part of a community that takes care of one another and values Art, storytelling and resistance as strongly as we do. Collectively we are invested in pouring in resource, love, guidance, time into our youth and the next generations.
