50th Anniversary of the Wilhall ‘Peace’ Mural to be Celebrated in Wilmington, Calif.

 

The mural titled, Increase the Peace, will celebrate 50 years of community pride since it’s completion in April, 1976.

Since its inception, the mural has been a call to non-violence, standing alongside generations of local residents as they’ve grown up with both happy and sad memories that have helped define their lives. The mural continues to serve as a popular setting for capturing memories, frequently featured as the background for wedding shoots, classic lowriders, family, and group portraits.

Festivities will include, a special prayer for the community, speakers, Ballet Folklorico, entertainment featuring dance by local children, D.J., low riders, hot dogs
