A Benefit for the promotion of
BAsics from the talks and
writings of Bob Avakian
Pilsen is known for its huge colorful murals that depict the histories of Mexico, Pilsen and beyond. Jose Guerrero, a Pilsen-based muralist and our tour guide, said that the Mexican Revolution helped revive murals because workers used them to communicate their causes. Today, Pilsen's murals are part decorative, part educational. Like the Mexican murals that preceded them, says Guerrero, "their colors help lift the spirit."
Please join us after the tour for a bite to eat at a local restaurant. We'll have a chance to discuss what we've just seen, and hear more about BAsics, including getting thousands of copies of BAsics into prisons. (Lunch is not included in the ticket price.)
