Chicano Park was designated a national historic monument and features numerous murals that activists painted in the 1970s underneath a highway overpass as part of cultural resistance to the displacement of their communities in Barrio Logan (a Mexican American neighborhood in San Diego). On this field trip, participants will learn about the socio-legal history of a San Diego neighborhood that adapted creatively to late twentieth century urban renewal policies and is once again facing gentrification processes. In addition, we hope it will stimulate participants to interrogate similar neighborhood processes in the cities and towns where they live and teach.
To attend this field trip, please sign-up through AALS Registration, and while AALS will not be collecting a fee in advance for this field trip, please note there is a roundtrip trolley fare of $5.00 which participants will pay at the boarding of the trolley. There is no entry fee to Chicano Park. Participants should plan to meet in the Marriott Marquis lobby at 9 am to walk together to the nearest station of the San Diego Trolley. Participants will need to sign a waiver of liability to participate in this off-site field trip.
