Mural 6, Pilsen, Lower West Side, Chicago. The eagle is symbolic of the Mexican roots of the Chicano movment, which tried to raise the status and rights of Mexican Americans--especially the farm laborers-- in the 1970s/80s.  Corn is everywhere the "staff of life," just as bread (or potatoes!) is in other traditions. The large head is that of Emiliano Zapata, the Mexican revolutionary who identified strongly with the farming peasants and who is a continuing inspiration for the downtrodden.  As you may recall, this mural is particularly critical of the "gentrification" of the Hispanic Pilsen district, focussing on the growing takeover of this area by weather capitalists.
