Note:
Marker drawing is probably a study for the Chicano Park mural. An unfurled scroll ripped in half separates two faces that
look away from each other to opposite sides of the print. The face on the left is indigenous, and words on his half of the
scroll read, "La Frontera, Aztlán, Tragado de Libre Comerce Rico, Dompe, Rodillas, Justicia," and "Indio". The face on the
right wears a helmet and a grate over the mouth with the words "English Only". Words on his half of the scroll read, "The
Border, Acquired Land, Free Trade, Dump, Rodino Bill, Just U.S." and "Slave". On either side of the faces are words and images
associated with the border.
