San Francisco - Mission District: Building Bridges of Solidarity: Breaking Down Barriers
Building Bridges of Solidarity: Breaking Down Barriers, a 117-foot long mural on 24th Street and Capp Street, was executed in 1997 by Eric Norberg and Mike Ramos for HOMEY (Homies Organizing the Mission to Empower Youth) and project coordinator Nancy Hernandez.
The anti-Zionist mural, depicting "related images of struggle by indigenous communities against forces of imperialism, racism, and economic oppression", came under heavy protest from the Anti-Defamation League and the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) and the HOMEY artists had to remove or alter the portion of the mural depicting Palestinian resistance.
