Along these lines, Nelson Mandela is portrayed in one of the crosses.
He was incorporated in the mural out of a recognition to oppose apartheid
as well as the fact that there are Afro-Central Americans in Central Ame
rica. There is a need in our communities to become aware of this aspect
and become solidarious with our brothers and sisters in Central America
and South Africa who are struggling for a just cause.
Also, in this side, we find a portrait of Santos Rodriguez, a twelve-
year-old that was killed by Dallas police. And next to him, the picture of
Ben Linder from Portland who was killed in Nicaragua by U.S. sponsored
Contras. Another cross carries the image of Archbishop Oscar Romero,
assassinated by government military forces in El Salvador in 1980.
The opposite side of the mural represents building a new society in
Central America based on social justice and love.
A Central American couple is portrayed holding their daughter over a
Central American flag. Behind the couple are such noted figures as Martin
Luther King Jr., Mexican Revolutionary Emiliano Zapata, Jean Donovan
who was killed in El Salvador by the National Guard, Sitting Bull, Che Gue
vara and others.
The mural is expected to be displayed throughout Oregon and Wash
ington. Anyone interested in suggesting locations can contact 230 9427.
Contributions to the mural may be sent to AFSC LA CAUSA, 2249 E Burn

On Friday, August 7, 1987, a structural mural on Central America was
dedicated at Centro Cultural in Cornelius. The mural is titled "W e are al
children of the Quetzal." It is a project of LA CAUSA (Latinos, Ameri
canos, Cnicanos/Mexicanos Against U.S. Aggression) in Central America,
a program of the American Friends Service Committee.
This portable mural, created by Leopoldo Tanguma, represents a
Latino perspective on U.S. policy in Central America. At the same time,
the mural draws a link between the problems faced by U.S. Latinos and
the struggle to end apartheid in South Africa.
The structure, standing 8'/2 feet high by 22 feet, resembles the Quetzal
bird, a bird native from Southern Mexico to Panama that will not live in cap
tivity, thereby symbolizing Central America's quest for freedom and justice.
On one side, at the base of the bird, are eight crosses of various sizes
arranged as in a graveyard.
On the central cross is the figure of a 3-year-old girl who was tortured
by the military forces in Guatemala. Among the figures torturing the little
girl, is Uncle Sam, a Central American general, and soldiers. This cross
represents the torture and repression in Central America and those charac
ters responsible.
This side of the mural is based on the suffering and struggle of the
people of Central America trying to determine their own destiny. It also
puts forth the notion that the current struggles elsewhere have to be viewed
as one.
When you see signs like those
shown above, they tell you that
there's a pipeline nearby. It it's
underground, you can't see it, of
course But it's there, working
quietly to provide energy for you
and other consumers throughout
this nation.
Some of these signs list the
commodity transported in the
pipeline, the name of the operator,
and a telephone number where the
operator's representative can be
reached at all times
Although pipelines have an
exceptionally good safety record,
once in a while a leak can occur
Indications of a leak might include
• A strange or unusual odor in the
vicinity of a pipeline
• A hissing or roaring sound
(caused by petroleum or product
escaping from a pipeline,.
• A dense white cloud or fog
• A spot of dead or discolored
vegetation
• An accumulation of petroleum
