word mural means a painting or other work of art that is directly executed on to a wall. The mural started out as what is known as graffiti‚ which comes from the Latin word graffio‚ meaning scratching or scribbling. Murals are in existence in almost every city across the world.

Birth of Chicano Studies I was wondering how the birth of Chicano Studies started and reading the “The Birth of Chicano Studies” had given me a better understanding of the history of Chicano history.
