An extensive but critically unexplored collection of murals is housed at Stanford in the undergraduate Chicano/Latino-theme residence Casa Zapata. Painted by professional artists, many with student involvement, some twenty total works exist in this public, community focused collection. These works, created in rapid succession over a 15-year period, coincided with the height of the Chicano movement, a cultural and political mobilization determined to advance equality, civil rights, and educational access for Mexican-American and Latinos in the United States.
