Last Saturday, about 150 residents of Santa Barbara came out to protest the removal of Aztec, Chumash, and Chicano murals in Ortega Park. KCSB's Aubrey Valerio spoke to Mark Alvarado, a lead organizer with the One Community Bridge Project, about the cultural significance of the art for the city and its Eastside residents.
