VISITING WITH HUELL HOWSER IS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH A GENEROUS GRANT FROM THE RALPH M. PARSONS FOUNDATION.

>> IT WAS ERECTED IN 1954, THE SCULPTURE ITSELF WAS CREATED BY ROGER NOBLE BURNEM, WHO WAS A WELL-KNOWN SCULPTOR AT THE TIME, IN FACT HE ALSO SCULPTED THE TROJAN, ALSO KNOWN AS "TOMMY TROJAN" ON THE USC CAMPUS.

>> A LOT OF STATUES AROUND THE CITY.

>> YES.

AND HE WORKED WITH AN ARCHITECT TO DEVELOP THIS ENTIRE FOUNTAIN HERE.

>> AND IT'S ALWAYS KIND OF BEEN A FOCUS FOR -- >> VARIOUS PROTESTS.

IT'S BEEN SCRAWLED WITH GRAFFITI, ANTI-WAR GRAFFITI DURING THE 60'S, AND, HERE WE HAVE TODAY A PROTEST OF A DIFFERENT KIND, SO MILITARY MEMORIALS ARE INTERESTING RALLYING POINTS FOR ISSUES AROUND WAR AND PEACE AND MILITARY SERVICE.

>> WELL WE'RE HERE WITH A GROUP OF VETERANS, WHO WANTS TO BE THE SPOKESPERSON HERE?

YOU THE TALKER TODAY?

>> YEAH, I GUESS.

>> COME ON, STAND UP AND TALK WITH US A LITTLE BIT.

YOU'RE HERE PROTESTING, THESE ARE PHILIPPINO VETS WHO WANT COMPENSATION FROM THE GOVERNMENT FOR WORK THEY DID DURING WORLD WAR II.

>> WORLD WAR II, YES.

>> NOW WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS PLACE TO HAVE YOUR DEMONSTRATION?

>> WE CHOSE THIS PLACE BECAUSE GENERAL MACARTHUR WAS OUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, AND HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LIBERATION OF THE PHILIPPINES.

>> SO THIS IS AN OBVIOUS PLACE TO HAVE YOUR DEMONSTRATION, RIGHT HERE.

>> WE AGREED TO HAVE IT HERE.

>> WELL LET'S TALK FOR JUST A MINUTE, BECAUSE THIS IS THE OTHER PART OF THE STATUE HERE, THESE ARE THE -- THESE ARE ALL -- WELL WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT DOWN HERE?

>> THE ISLAND WHERE GENERAL MACARTHUR PASSES.

>> WELL COME ON AND STAND UP HERE AND TALK TO US, WHAT IS THIS ONE RIGHT HERE?

THIS AN ISLAND, THIS IS AUSTRALIA, THIS IS CELEBES, INDONESIA AND THIS IS THE PHILIPPINES.

>> YOU'VE GOT THE FOOD TABLE UP OVER THE PHILIPPINES.

>> YEAH YEAH, THIS ONE, THIS ONE.

THIS IS INDONESIA, THIS IS THE PHILIPPINES.

>> LOOK AT THIS LUIS, WE GOT THE PHILIPPINES RIGHT HERE.

>> -- THIS IS MINDANAO, MINDANAO, THIS IS LEYTE, LEYTE.

WHERE OUR GENERAL, DOUGLAS MACARTHUR, LANDED IN LEYTE.

>> AND THERE'S GENERAL MACARTHUR RIGHT THERE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK HE WOULD THINK ABOUT THIS DEMONSTRATION HERE IN FRONT OF HIS STATUE?

>> WELL WE CAME HERE BECAUSE THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE WE CHOSE OUR DEMONSTRATION BECAUSE GENERAL MACARTHUR IS OUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF DURING WORLD WAR II, SO WE ARE THE REMNANTS NOW HERE, BECAUSE OUR COMPANION IS IN CARAVAN GOING TO WASHINGTON D.C. FROM AUGUST 24 UP TO THE SEPTEMBER 9TH.

>> RIGHT.

OKAY.

WELL WE'VE GOT A DEMONSTRATION GOING ON HERE, WHICH MEANS THAT THE STATUES ARE STILL MUCH MORE THAN JUST SYMBOLS OF SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST, THEY'RE STILL VERY MUCH A PART OF THE TEXTURE AND THE HISTORY OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR CITY TODAY.

>> YEAH, YEAH.

AND WE ARE DEMANDING OUR -- WHAT WE CALL THE EQUITY, BECAUSE WE ARE DISCRIMINATED BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

IN FACT, THAT IS THEIR DUTY.

AND YOU'RE DOING THAT RIGHT HERE UNDER THE STATUE OF GENERAL MACARTHUR, WHO THE'S BEEN STANDING HERE ON THIS SPOT SINCE 1954.

NOW WE'VE COME OVER TO THE CORNER BASICALLY OF MISSION AND MAIN.

WE'RE IN LINCOLN HEIGHTS, AND WE'RE IN FOR A TREAT, EXPLAIN TO US WHAT WE'RE STANDING IN FRONT OF, THIS IS A HUGE, MASSIVE MONUMENT RIGHT HERE.

>> WELL, FIRST OF ALL, THIS AREA, THERE'S A NUMBER OF TRAFFIC ISLANDS HERE, AND THIS AREA IS CALLED PARQUE DE MEXICO, AND IT INCLUDES 2 OF THE 3 EQUESTRIAN STATUES IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES, AND THEN WITHIN THIS ONE AREA IT INCLUDES THE BUSTS OF LEADERS OF MEXICO, MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE, MEXICAN REVOLUTIONS IN THE 1880'S, AND LEADERS OF MEXICO IN THE 20TH CENTURY.

>> SO WAIT A MINUTE, THERE ARE ONLY 3 EQUESTRIAN STATUES IN THE ENTIRE CITY OF LOS ANGELES?

>> YES, AND 2 OF THEM ARE HERE.

>> OBVIOUSLY THIS IS ONE OF THEM.

THAT'S A BIG HORSE.

WHO'S UP THERE ON TOP OF THE HORSE?

>> EMILIANO ZAPATA.

HUELL>> ZAPATA.

>> ZAPATA, AND THIS WORK WAS DONATED TO THE CITY ABOUT 1980.

>> BUT WHO IS ZAPATA?

I DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS!

THAT'S THE POINT, I DON'T THINK MANY OF US KNOW WHO MANY OF THESE STATUES ARE OF!

WELL ZAPATA WAS A LEADER OF -- HE WAS A LEADER OF AN AGRARIAN REVOLT IN SOUTHERN MEXICO IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY, HE ESTABLISHED SOME OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF LAWS, UPON WHICH THE AGRARIAN POLICY IN MEXICO HAS FOLLOWED SINCE THEN.

>> SO, WOULD HE BE KNOWN AS A MEXICAN REVOLUTIONARY OF SORTS?

>> HE WAS, AND HE WAS IMMENSELY POPULAR, IN FACT, THERE WAS A HOLLYWOOD MOVIE MADE CALLED VIVA ZAPATA, STARRING MARLON BRANDO.

>> NOW HOW WOULD A STATUE OF ZAPATA GET UP HERE IN EAST L.A.

IN THIS PARK?

>> OH, IT WAS DONATED BY THE CITY OF MEXICO CITY IN 1980.

FOR THE COST ABOUT $400,000, SO IT WAS A SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION.

AND NO DOUBT IT TOOK THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT, THE COOPERATION OF THE LOCAL CITY, IN FACT I'M PRETTY SURE THAT THE COUNCIL PERSON AT THE TIME, WHO WAS ART SNIDER, HELPED A LOT OF THESE SCULPTURES COME INTO BEING AND NO DOUBT THE SUPPORT OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND NEIGHBORHOOD.

>> DO YOU THINK MOST PEOPLE KNOW WHO ZAPATA IS?

>> I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE AROUND HERE DO IN EAST LOS ANGELES, CERTAINLY.

BUT YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT, THE LARGER POPULATION OF L.A.

DOESN'T KNOW WHO HE IS.

>> WELL, WE KNOW NOW, THERE HE IS UP THERE, AND I THINK IT'S INTERESTING HE'S ON ONE OF THE 3 HORSES THAT ARE DEPICTED IN STATUES HERE IN L.A. >> I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS SOME KIND OF WREATH OR SOMETHING TIED TO THE LEGS OF THE STATUE.

>> YEAH, THE FOOT OF THE HORSE.

THESE MONUMENTS ARE THE FOCUS OF COMMEMORATIVE ACTIVITY, A CYCLE OF COMMEMORATIVE ACTIVE BY THE LOCAL COMMUNITY, AND SOMETHING MAY HAVE RECENTLY BEEN DONE HERE.

>> NOW THIS PARK IS CALLED?

>> PARQUE DE MEXICO.

>> WELL IT'S A PART OF LINCOLN PARK.

>> LINCOLN PARK.

>> WHICH IS ONE OF THE OLDEST PARKS IN THE CITY, IT USED TO BE CALLED -- EAST LAKE PARK, ORIGINALLY.

>> AND WE'RE RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF THE PARK NOW.

IF WE GET INTO THE PARK, WE'RE GOING TO FIND A LOT OF STATUES, RIGHT?

>> YES.

>> ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.

HE IS UP THERE ON HIS HORSE, ZAPATA.

NOW WE'VE COME IN TO WHAT HAS TO BE A REAL BONANZA OF STATUARY AND -- OH, THESE ARE BUSTS HERE.

BUT WE HAVE TWO BIG STATUES HERE.

>> AND THIS IS A MONUMENT OF FATHER HIDALGO WHO BEGAN THE REVOLT IN MEXICO AGAINST SPANISH RULE, AND ACTUALLY, THIS MONUMENT TOUCHES UPON REALLY THE HISTORY OF LOS ANGELES BECAUSE AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE REVOLT OF MEXICO AGAINST SPAIN, CALIFORNIA BECAME PART OF MEXICO, AND IN A SENSE THE REVOLT AGAINST SPAIN IS PART OF THE HISTORY OF THIS STATE AND HE'S PART OF OUR HISTORY.

>> NOW DO WE -- I DIDN'T STUDY -- I DIDN'T GO TO SCHOOL HERE IN CALIFORNIA, DO WE STUDY THIS PERSON IN OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM HERE?

>> GOSH, NOT THAT I REMEMBER.

>> THIS IS ALL MEXICAN HISTORY, RIGHT?

>> WELL, WHICH IS CERTAINLY A PART OF OUR CONTEMPORARY LOS ANGELES.

>> RIGHT.

BUT THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY MEXICAN-AMERICAN HEROES, THESE ARE MEXICAN HEROES FROM -- >> MEXICO ITSELF.

AND THAT ACTUALLY, YOU CAN COME RIGHT HERE AND STUDY THE HISTORY OF MODERN MEXICO WITH ALL OF THE REVOLUTIONARY AND MODERN WAR HEROES CELEBRATED RIGHT HERE IN THE BUSTS AND THE EQUESTRIAN SCULPTURES.

>> AND WE KNOW WHO SOME OF THESE PEOPLE ARE, WE HAVE NAMES.

HEROINE OF THE INDEPENDENCE OF MEXICO.

>> DONA, NOW WAIT A MINUTE, I DON'T KNOW HOW HOW TO PRONOUNCE ALL OF THESE NAMES.

>> ORTIZ DOMINGUES.

>> RIGHT.

BUT WE DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT HER, SEE I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT WHO SHE IS AND WHY SHE'S HERE.

>> WE HAVE A BROCHURE THAT MY ORGANIZATION, URBAN ART, PUBLISHED WITH GRANTS FROM THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES AND THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR THE CONSERVATION OF CULTURAL PROPERTIES.

THESE BROCHURES WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION AT THE VARIOUS PLACES, INCLUDING THE PLAZA DE LA RAZA, AND IT HAS HISTORIES OF EACH OF THESE BUSTS AND STATUARY IN LINCOLN PARK.

>> OKAY LOOK AT THIS LUIS, WE HAVE A -- THIS ACTUALLY HAS THE PLACE WHERE WE'RE STANDING RIGHT NOW.

AND THEN WHEN YOU OPEN IT UP, IT HAS LITTLE, A LITTLE PARAGRAPH ABOUT EACH ONE OF THESE PEOPLE HERE.

FOR EXAMPLE, THIS CHARACTER DOWN HERE, WHO DOES NOT HAVE A PLAQUE, BUT WHO IS A NAME THAT'S FAMILIAR TO JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY.

>> WELL WE CAN LOOK AT THIS AND IT'S NO.

10, AND NO.

10 IS PONCHO VILLA.

AND WE CAN READ UP ABOUT PONCHO VILLA.

>> WHERE IS HIS PLAQUE?

>> HE MAY NOT HAVE EVER HAD ONE, OR IT MAY BE MISSING.

>> IS THAT A PROBLEM?

>> THAT'S A REAL PROBLEM, BECAUSE I THINK A LOT OF CONSERVATION OF SCULPTURE HAS TO DO WITH PUBLIC AWARENESS AND GETTING PEOPLE TO LEARN ABOUT THESE SCULPTURES.

AND ESPECIALLY THESE, THIS IS THE HISTORY OF MODERN MEXICO LAID OUT IN FRONT OF US.

>> AND WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PONCHO VILLA.

SO WE NEED A PLAQUE HERE.

IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH.

HERE'S A FELLOW OVER HERE, CONTEMPLATING ONE OF THESE BUSTS.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT OVER HERE?

>> I DON'T KNOW I'M JUST CHECKING THIS GUY OUT HERE.

>> DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE?

>> SOME OF THEM, BUT THIS GUY IN PARTICULAR, NO, I DON'T.

AND LIKE THAT GUY DOESN'T HAVE A PLAQUE ON IT.

>> YEAH, THAT'S WHAT WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT!

WELL HE LOOKS LIKE AN INTERESTING CHARACTER ALL RIGHT!

>> THAT'S PONCHO VILLA!

>> OH, THAT'S PONCHO VILLA, HUH?

YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING GUESS.

HE LOOKS LIKE PONCHO VILLA WITH THE ROUNDS.

>> NOW ARE YOU JUST HANGING OUT OVER HERE TODAY, LOOKING AT -- >> YEAH, MY MOM'S AT THE HOSPITAL, SO I'M JUST WASTING TIME HERE.

>> WELL DON'T SAY WASTING TIME -- YOU'RE HERE BECAUSE YOUR INTERESTED IN THIS.

>> OH, YEAH!

I MEAN I'M INTERESTED IN ALL THIS AROUND HERE.

THIS WHOLE LINCOLN PARK AND EVERYTHING, THIS WHOLE HERE YOU KNOW, IT'S COOL, IT'S OLD.

I'M INTO THAT OLD STUFF.

>> YEAH, WELL HAVE YOU HEARD OF THIS GENERAL DOWN HERE?

>> YEAH, I'VE HEARD HIM, BUT I'M NOT REALLY SURE ABOUT HIM.

>> GENERAL IGNACIO ZARAGOZA.

>> ZARAGOZA, YEAH.

>> WELL WAIT A MINUTE, WHERE'S THE BROCHURE?

WE HAVE A BROCHURE FOR YOU THAT LISTS ALL OF THESE.

SEE, WE DID A LITTLE COMMERCIAL FOR THE BROCHURES RIGHT HERE, BUT ALL OF THESE -- COME ON, LET'S WALK OVER HERE.

COME ON WITH US.

WE'VE GOT ONE MORE TO LOOK AT.

HERE'S ANOTHER ONE WITHOUT A -- A PLAQUE ON HIM.

HE LOOKS VERY DISTINGUISHED AND WE'LL GET OUR NEW FRIEND TO TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS FELLOW.

>> WELL -- HUELL>> WHERE IS HE?

>> OH, HE'S UP HERE.

NO.

7.

HUELL>> NO.

7.

>> OH, HERE WE GO.

WELL, I DON'T HAVE NO IDEA.

VINISTARIO CARANZA.

SAYS VINISTARIO CARANZA 1859 TO 1920.

BECAME THE HEAD OF THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT IN 1914 AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF POLITICAL INSTABILITY FOLLOWING THE OVERTHROW OF THE DICTATORSHIP OF FORFERIO DIAZ.

3 YEARS LATER CARANZA WAS WAS ELECTED TO THE FIRST PRESIDENT OF THE -- BLAH!

OF THE NEW MEXICAN REPUBLIC.

>> SO THIS GUY'S THE -- THE FIRST PRESIDENT OF THE NEW MEXICAN REPUBLIC.

NOW, DO YOU THINK THIS MEANS MUCH TO MANY PEOPLE TODAY, THIS HISTORY?

>> YOU KNOW, IT SHOULD, BUT I THINK, ESPECIALLY THE KIDS AROUND HERE ARE TAKING IT FOR GRANTED.

AND, YOU KNOW, THEY TALK ALL THIS STUFF ABOUT "OH, MY HISTORY," AND ALL THAT, BUT I THINK THEY REALLY DON'T KNOW.

THEY SHOULD COME HERE AND TAKE A LOOK AND APPRECIATE THE ART FOR WHAT IT IS.

THAT'S MY OPINION.

>> WELL YOU'RE GOING GET AGREEMENT WITH THESE PEOPLE RIGHT HERE, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE INTO.

PRESERVING AND BRINGING THESE STATUES BACK TO LIFE AND TO MORE PUBLIC AWARENESS.

>> OH, YEAH, BECAUSE I NOTICED THAT SOME OF THEM WERE KIND OF HAMMERED, IN DISREPAIR, AND I THINK IT'S GREAT TO HAVE THIS STUFF OUT HERE, BUT YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY WITH NOBODY COMING OUT TO LOOK AT IT, THERE'S COBWEBS ON SOME OF THESE GUYS.

>> THIS IS AN UNSCHEDULED STOP.

WE CAME ACROSS THE STREET -- LOOK OVER HERE LUIS.

THIS IS THE PLAZA WHERE WE JUST WERE, AND WE'VE COME ACROSS THE STREET BECAUSE I SPOTTED WHAT LOOKS LIKE A CLASSIC STATUE OF LINCOLN >> YES, THAT'S LINCOLN, AND NOW WE ARE OFFICIALLY IN LINCOLN PARK.

THIS IS A STATUE BY A SCULPTRESS, JULIE BRACKENWENT FROM 1925.

>> SO IT'S -- WAS SHE A CLASSIC, WELL-KNOWN -- >> YES, TRAINED IN THE EAST COAST, DID A COUPLE OF FAMOUS -- >> YEAH, WE ARE ABOUT TO GET HIT, AND ACTUALLY, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT AS WELL, CORRECT?

>> CORRECT!

THE SPRINKLER'S ABOUT TO HIT LINCOLN AS WE SPEAK, AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING TO TRY TO REDIRECT THE SPRINKLERS IN THIS PARK, BECAUSE IF THE WATER HITS THE SCULPTURE TOO MUCH, IT'S GOING TO DEPOSIT CALCIUM DEPOSITS RIGHT ON THE BRONZE.

>> SO THERE ARE THINGS GOING ON IN THE CITY WITH THE BEST OF INTENTIONS, THAT ARE REALLY NOT IN THE BEST INTENTIONS OF GOOD HEALTH FOR THIS STATUARY!

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

THE SCULPTURES OUT THERE, AND WE'VE GOT THEY PUBLIC, WE'VE GOT AIR POLLUTION, WE'VE GOT WATER FROM THE SPRINKLING SYSTEM -- >> IT'S HITTING LINCOLN RIGHT NOW.

>> THERE WE GO.

>> AND THAT'S NOT GOOD.

>> IT'S NOT KEEPING HIM CLEAN BECAUSE OF ALL THE MINERALS IN THE SPRINKLING WATER.

BUT THERE'S A GOOD LAYER OF WAX ON IT, SO THE MINERALS ARE DEPOSITED ON TOP OF THE WAX.

ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS REMOVE THE WAX AND REPLACE IT ABOUT EVERY SIX MONTHS.

>> AND ARE WE TRYING TO GET PEOPLE IN THE CITY OF L.A. UP TO SPEED ON HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THESE?

YES, IN FACT WE HELD A TRAINING HERE 6 MONTHS AGO FOR THE GROUNDS KEEPERS HERE, AND TAUGHT THEM HOW TO DO SOME -- A SIMPLE CLEANING AND SIMPLE WAXING, AND WE ACTUALLY DID AT THE OF TIME TALK ABOUT REDIRECTING THE SPRINKLER, AND I SUSPECT WE HAVE TO CALL AGAIN.

>> UH-OH!

WE FOUND A PROBLEM HERE, BUT LINCOLN IS THERE, WET, EVEN THOUGH HE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE, AND THERE'S THE STATUE OF LINCOLN AND WE ARE STANDING -- WE ARE STANDING IN -- LINCOLN PARK.

NOW OUR GROUP IS GROWING, WE'RE STILL IN LINCOLN PARK, IN LINCOLN HEIGHTS, AND WE HAVE COME TO THIS STATUE RIGHT HERE.

WE FOUND YOU ALL ACROSS THE STREET, YOUR PLACE OF BUSINESS IS ACROSS THE STREET.

YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS STATUE?

>> HE WAS, YES, ONE OF THE GREAT COMPOSERS FROM THE OLD DAYS, AND MOST MUSIC IS BASED ON HIM NOW.

>> SO YOU KNOW HIS MUSIC?

>> OH DEFINITELY.

EVERYBODY KNOWS HIS MUSIC.

>> DO YOU KNOW HIS MUSIC?

DO YOU WHO THIS IS?

>> NO, BUT I JUST FOUND OUT TODAY, SO IT'S VERY INTERESTING, I'M GOING TO FIND OUT ABOUT THIS COMPOSER.

>> WELL NOW YOU FOUND OUT ABOUT HIM BECAUSE YOU'RE FRIEND HERE TOLD YOU AS WE WERE STANDING HERE GETTING READY FOR THIS SHOT, SO WE'VE GOT TO GET YOU OVER IN THE PARK MORE TO LOOK AT SOME OF THESE HISTORICAL STATUES, THERE ARE A BUNCH THEM BACK THERE.

>> WELL I HARDLY TAKE A LUNCH, SO WHEN I DO TAKE A LUNCH I'M GOING TO TAKE A STROLL OVER HERE, IT'S SO CLOSE TO THIS BUSINESS OF MINE, FOR 30 YEARS, I DON'T KNOW WHO'S HERE IN MY BACKYARD.

>> WELL THAT'S GOOD, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH TODAY WITH THIS KIND OF TOUR OF STATUES THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES IS KIND OF INCREASE ALL OF OUR AWARENESS, SO YOU'RE JUST AN EXAMPLE FOR ALL OF US OUT THERE THAT WE ALL NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE IN OUR OWN BACKYARD, RIGHT?

>> YES.

TODAY, YES.

>> NOW GABRIEL WE HAVE YOU HERE BECAUSE YOU KNOW FOR SURE WHO THIS FELLOW IS.

YOU'RE A BIG FAN OF HIS MUSIC, TELL US, BRING US UP TO SPEED ON WHO THIS IS.

THIS IS AUGUSTINE LARA.

LARA RIGHT?

OKAY.

HE'S ACTUALLY ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS, LIKE, SONGWRITERS OF ALL TIME IN MEXICO AND ALL OF LATIN AMERICA, AND HIS SONGS HAVE INFLUENCED LIKE EVERYONE FROM LUIS MIGUEL, WHO'S A CURRENT POP ARTIST, TO EDDIE GORME WHO RECORDED SOME OF HIS SONGS, AS WELL AS A LOT OF OTHER ARTISTS THAT WE KNOW AND DON'T KNOW, BUT HE'S REALLY FAMOUS, REALLY IMPORTANT, HE WAS A POET, A REALLY CONTROVERSIAL WRITER FOR HIS TIME, AND -- >> WHY WAS HE CONTROVERSIAL?

>> WELL HE USED TO WRITE A LOT ABOUT SEX AND A LOT ABOUT BEING INTOXICATED, BUT HE WOULD DO IT SO POETICALLY THAT PEOPLE WOULD HAVE A HARD TIME TRYING TO REALLY NAIL HIM AS BEING, LIKE, A PERSON FULL OF VICE, BUT ACTUALLY HE WAS -- THAT MEANS THAT HE WAS A REALLY GOOD WRITER, THAT HE WAS ABLE TO REALLY BRING A LOT OF TIME INTO HIS WRITING.

>> AND WHEN WAS HE WRITING SOMETHING, WHAT WAS HIS ERA?

>> HIS ERA WAS MAINLY IN THE 20'S AND 30'S.

MOST OF HIS RECORDINGS DATE BACK TO, LIKE, THE 30'S.

IT'S HIM ON PIANO WITH A SMALL GROUP OF VIOLIN.

AND IT'S REALLY BEAUTIFUL STUFF HE SINGS.

USUALLY HE'S JUST KNOWN AS A SONGWRITER, BUT THERE'S SOME RECORDINGS OF HIM SINGING THAT'S REALLY -- >> NOW GIVE ME A -- LET'S WALK OVER HERE, ISN'T THERE A LEGEND HERE THAT TALKS ABOUT THE SONGS THAT HE HAS WRITTEN?

>> RIGHT, RIGHT.

YEAH, THEY HAVE GRANADA, WHICH ACTUALLY IS A SONG THAT HE WROTE ABOUT SPAIN, WHICH HE HAD NEVER EVEN BEEN TO SPAIN.

WHICH ACTUALLY SHOWS HOW GREAT A WRITER HE ACTUALLY WAS.

SOLAMENTO NO VEZ, WHICH IS THE SONG WE'RE GOING SING, AND THERE'S A SONG THAT EDDIE GORME RECORDED, AND MADRID IS ANOTHER SONG ABOUT SPAIN THAT HE WROTE WITHOUT ACTUALLY EVER BEING THERE.

>> SO THIS MAN IS REALLY VERY FAMOUS!

OH, YEAH, HE'S ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FIGURES IN LATIN MUSIC.

>> WELL COULD YOU AND YOUR FRIEND -- LET'S HAVE YOU JUST STAND RIGHT OUT HERE, AND WE'LL HAVE YOU PERFORM.

LET'S STAND OVER HERE IN FRONT OF THE STATUE, SO THAT THE STATUE WILL KIND OF BE IN THE BACKGROUND, AND COME ON OVER HERE.

AND SING ONE OF HIS SONGS.

>> OKAY.

WE'RE GOING TO JUST DO A LITTLE BIT OF IT, MAYBE THE FIRST VERSE.

>> OKAY.

[ SINGING IN SPANISH ] >> VERY NICE.

NOW WE'VE JUST COME FROM THE PLAZA ACROSS THE STREET HERE, WITH ALL THE BUSTS, DO YOU THINK THAT THE YOUNG PEOPLE IN THIS AREA KNOW WHO THESE PEOPLE WERE?

>> WELL I THINK IT'S -- THERE WAS A POINT IN TIME WHEN I THINK THE INFORMATION WAS NOT, LIKE, TAUGHT TO THE YOUTH, ESPECIALLY CHICANO YOUTH, BUT I THINK NOW, AS THERE'S A NEW MOVEMENT GROWING OF MORE SOLIDARITY BETWEEN CHICANOS AND THERE'S MORE INFORMATION.

PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO KNOW ABOUT THESE PEOPLE LIKE PONCHO VILLA.

I MEAN PONCHO VILLA IS LIKE -- >> NOW I'VE HEARD OF PONCHO VILLA!

>> -- A FOLK HERO, BUT A LOT OF THE OTHER STORIES OF PONCHO VILLA, OR THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE PARK, I MEAN THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE, THERE'S VINNIE TOPAREZ, I MEAN THOSE KIND OF INFORMATION ON, LIKE, WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE, I MEAN YOU KNOW THE NAMES, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW THE HISTORY BEHIND WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE AND IT'S LIKE PEOPLE ARE NOW FIGURING OUT FOR THEMSELVES, LIKE, HEY, WE'VE GOT TO LEARN IT OURSELVES SO, THEY GO OUT AND GO TO THE LIBRARY OR THEY FIND OUT FROM OTHER FRIENDS -- >> SO YOU THINK THESE STATUES ARE MEANINGFUL AND SERVE A REAL PURPOSE HERE IN THE COMMUNITY?

>> YEAH, THINK THE SAD PART ABOUT IT THOUGH IS THAT THERE'S A LOT OF EMPTY SPACES THAT BECAUSE MONEY RAN OUT.

THEY WEREN'T FINISHED, AND I THINK OF THAT PROJECT HAS TO BE TAKEN UP, PROBABLY BY YOUTH.

IN MEXICO, I MEAN, YOU CAN DRIVE ALL OVER MEXICO AND YOU CAN SEE STATUES, ALL OVER THE PLACE.

I MEAN YOU SEE JUST ON SIDES OF THE ROAD.

YOU CAN SEE AMPHITHEATERS THERE, WHERE THEY WOULD HAVE LARGE STATUES AND SOME OF THEM WOULD BE OF JUST COMMON PEOPLE, WHERE THEY WOULD BE WORKING ON THE BRIDGE AND THEN THERE WOULD BE A STATUE IN COMMEMORATION OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE DIED, OR PEOPLE WHO HAVE WORKED ON THERE.

SO I MEAN, I THINK WITHIN THE LATINO COMMUNITY OR THE MEXICAN COMMUNITY IT'S A TRADITION TO DO STATUES OF PEOPLE LIKE AUGUSTINE LARA -- OR EMILIANO ZAPATA.

>> SO THIS COMES, THIS IS A MEXICAN TRADITION.

>> I WOULD SAY, I THINK, PAYING TRIBUTE TO PEOPLE LIKE AUGUSTINE LARA IS SOMETHING THAT'S COMMON.

YOU SEE IT A LOT.

I MEAN IT'S LIKE THESE ARE -- I GUESS YOU COULD SAY FOLK HEROES.

>> SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE JUST POLITICAL HEROES, THEY CAN JUST BE -- >> THE PEOPLE.

I MEAN, MEXICO IS MADE UP OF PEOPLE, SO IT'S LIKE IN THE TRADITION, IN THE SPIRIT OF, I GUESS YOU COULD SAY, OF ALMOST LIKE OF -- I GUESS IT WOULD OF THE SOCIETY OF LA SU SEDAD THAT YOU PAY TRIBUTE TO THE PEOPLE THAT WORK.

>> WELL, HE WORKED AND BROUGHT US GOOD MUSIC.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

YOUR NAME?

>> TYGONA.

>> THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING OVER.

AND OUR STATUE JOURNEY CONTINUES.

WE JUST HAVE A FEW MORE TO GO, WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.

NOW JULIE USUALLY WHEN YOU THINK OF STATUES, YOU THINK OF PARKS.

STATUES IN PARKS.

AND WHEN YOU THINK OF STATUES, YOU THINK OF STATUES, LIKE OF MEN OR WOMEN STANDING ERECT, IN UNIFORM OR WHATEVER, OR ON HORSEBACK, BUT NOW WE'VE COME TO A PLACE THAT IS NEITHER A PARK OR A TRADITIONAL STATUE IN THE TERMS THAT WE TEND TO THINK OF STATUES.

WHY ARE WE HERE IN THIS STOPPING CENTER IN WATTS?

WELL WE'RE HERE IN THE COMMERCIAL HEART OF WATTS, THE MARTIN LUTHER KING SHOPPING CENTER WHICH WAS REBUILT ON THE SITE OF THE OLD DOWNTOWN BUSINESS AREA OF WATTS THAT WAS BURNED IN THE 1965 WATTS REBELLION.

AND SO IT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT PLACE IN THE HISTORY OF LOS ANGELES AND OF THIS PARTICULAR COMMUNITY.

AND THIS JUST HAPPENS TODAY TO BE A COMMERCIAL SHOPPING CENTER.

BUT THE COMMUNITY, FOR A VERY LONG TIME REALLY WANTED TO MEMORIALIZE THIS LOCATION AND THE IMPORTANT EVENTS THAT HAPPENED HERE AND ALWAYS WANTED A MEMORIAL TO MARTIN LUTHER KING.

AND SO, THE OPPORTUNITY CAME ABOUT TO HAVE IT HERE AND IT WAS PAID FOR BY THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY.

>> AND HERE IT IS OVER HERE, AND THIS, TO ME, LOOKS LIKE A PIECE OF SCULPTURE, NOT A STATUE.

>> WELL, IN FACT, YOU WOULD CALL DID IT A SCULPTURE, THAT'S MUCH MORE OF A MODERN TERM TO DESCRIBE THE KINDS OF PUBLIC ART MEMORIALS THAT COME ABOUT.

STATUES OF SOMEWHAT AN OLD-FASHIONED TERM, AND, IN FACT, AS YOU WERE MENTIONING IS, MUCH MORE ABOUT A KIND OF STIFF CHARACTER.

>> SO THE STATUES TODAY ARE MORE LIKE SCULPTURES.

>> YES, SCULPTURES.

AND THIS IS A SCULPTURE WITH MANY MEANINGS, IT'S NOT JUST A FIGURE OF A PERSON, BUT IT'S ABOUT THE LIFE, PHILOSOPHIES, AND CONTRIBUTIONS OF THAT INDIVIDUAL.

>> AND HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF DEEP CONVERSATION IS THE ARTIST.

>> CHARLES DIXON CHARLES, HOW ARE YOU DOING?

>> HOW YOU DOING YOU?

>> NICE TO SEE YOU, SIR!

>> NICE TO SEE YOU TOO!

WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT "THE HAND" AND WHEN I MET YOU A MINUTE AGO, BEFORE WE STARTED THE CAMERAS ROLLING, YOU SAID EVERYBODY CALLS IT THE HAND, NOBODY EVER TALKS ABOUT THE REST OF IT!

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

SO IT'S PRETTY MUCH -- THE HAND IS AN ICON WITHIN THE COMMUNITY >> NOW WHAT IS ALL THIS ABOUT?

LET'S WALK OVER HERE SO WE CAN GET A GOOD LOOK AT IT, BECAUSE IT'S A BEAUTIFUL BIG HAND WITH THIS BIRD, IT LOOKS LIKE A HUMMINGBIRD TO ME.

>> IT IS A HUMMINGBIRD.

>> WHY IS IT A HUMMINGBIRD?

>> WELL, FOR ONE THING WE, IN THE MODEL, WHEN I FIRST DEVELOPED THE CONCEPT OF A BIRD BEING RELEASED FROM MY HAND, I MODELED THE BIRD TO KIND OF LIKE BE A COMBINATION OF DOVE, AND IT KIND OF LOOKED MORE LIKE A HUMMINGBIRD.

AND THE CONCEPT OF THE HUMMINGBIRD SUDDENLY DAWNED ON ME THAT IT WAS, LIKE, AN AFRICAN CULTURE, IT'S ASIAN CULTURE, IT'S MEXICAN, IT'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS, AND IN THE PIECE REPRESENTS THAT KIND OF THINKING.

AND YOU KNOW, WE ALL HAVE A DREAM.

AND SO THAT IS ENSCRIBED ON THIS WORK, THE ENTIRE SPEECH, I THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT.

>> THAT'S OVER HERE.

WE HAVE AN ENTIRE, OH, GOSH, YOU DO HAVE THE ENTIRE "I HAVE A DREAM" SPEECH HERE!

>> YES, AND BASICALLY ONE OF THE CRITERIAS FOR THE WORK WAS TO HAVE AN IMAGE OF MARTIN LUTHER KING ON THE PIECE ITSELF, AND SO WHAT HAPPENED IS THAT, I DIDN'T WANT TO JUST PUT A BUST OF HIM THERE, BUT I MADE SURE THAT THE IMAGE IS THERE, SO THIS IS THE ACTUAL PHOTOGRAPH THAT WAS TAKEN AND FLIPPED LIKE A BUTTERFLY-TYPE OF THING OF HIM ACTUALLY GIVING THAT SPEECH IN WASHINGTON >> WHAT ARE THE FOOTSTEPS HERE, THE GOLD - - >> THEY'RE BRASS, BUT THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT THE FOOTSTEPS IS THAT WE WANTED TO USE ONE OF THE SHOE TYPES THAT HE ACTUALLY WORE IN THE SIZE SHOE.

>> NOW ARE THEY MADE FOR PEOPLE TO STAND UP THERE AND STEP IN HIS SHOES?

MAY I DO THAT?

>> EXACTLY.

CERTAINLY.

SO YOU CAN JUST STAND RIGHT HERE AND STEP, WOULD YOU LIKE TO STEP IN THE FOOTSTEPS HERE?

SEE, THERE HE GOES.

THAT'S PART OF WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO TOO, RIGHT?

>> WE INITIALLY WANTED TO USE HIS REAL SHOES TO GET THIS IMPRESSION.

BUT THEY'RE SEALED IN THE MUSEUM.

AND SO WE LOOKED ALL OVER TOWN TO FIND THE ACTUAL SHOE AND AFTER WE EXHAUSTED EVERY POSSIBILITY, WE FOUND THE STORE RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THE MONUMENT HAD THE SHOE.

>> THAT MARTIN LUTHER KING -- >> THE TYPE THAT HE WORE.

>> REALLY!

>> STACY ADAMS, BOSTON-STYLE.

AND SO, WE TOOK THAT IMPRESSION AND CUT IT OUT IN THE BRASS AND THEN IMBEDDED IT INTO THE GRANITE.

>> WELL YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF WORK HERE.

I GUESS THIS IS A MODERN DAY STATUE.

IT'S A MODERN INTERPRETATION OF WHAT THE TERM "STATUE" MEANS >> YEAH, IN THAT SENSE, I THINK I REALLY CONSIDER IT MORE OF A MONUMENT IN THAT LOOSE TERM YOU CAN PROJECT ANY KIND OF POSSIBILITY, AND IT'S COMPOSED OF STATUES IN A SENSE, OR SYMBOLS.

>> AND IT'S HERE WHERE PEOPLE CAN ENJOY IT, AND SEE IT AND STAND HERE AND ACTUALLY READ THE ENTIRE SPEECH.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

THAT'S RIGHT.

>> NOW I WAS WATCHING YOU STANDING HERE READING THE SPEECH.

HAD YOU EVER SEEN THE WHOLE SPEECH OUT LIKE THIS BEFORE?

>> YES, I'VE SEEN THE SPEECH BEFORE, I WAS A COLLEGE GRADUATE, SO I LOOKED AT THE SPEECH IN GRADUATE SCHOOL AND IN OTHER PLACES, BUT I NEVER RECALLED THE CONTENTS OF THE SPEECH IN ITS ENTIRETY.

SO I REREAD IT TODAY, AND I SAW ASPECTS THAT I SAW AS BITS AND PIECES IN OTHER FORMS.

SO IT FELT REAL GOOD FOR ME TO LOOK AT IT, THE CONTEXT OF WHAT HE WAS SAYING.

>> SO YOU ACTUALLY STOOD HERE, READ THE SPEECH, AND GAINED SOMETHING FROM BEING A PART OF -- OF THIS SCULPTURE.

>> YES.

WHEN DR. KING GAVE THIS SPEECH I WAS 5 YEARS OLD.

I WAS BORN RIGHT THERE IN THE HARPER GENERAL HOSPITAL.

AND I DID GAIN SOMETHING BECAUSE I SAW WHAT HE MEANT WHEN HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE BLANK -- THE BLANK CHECK, HE HAD WAS REFERRING TO THE CONSTITUTION, AND SO THE CONSTITUTION ITSELF IS OUR LIBERTY, AND IF WE DENY FREEDOMS, THAT MEANS THAT THE CHECK THAT WE HAVE, WHICH IS OUR CONSTITUTION, IS BEING DENIED US, SO IF THERE'S INSUFFICIENT FUNDS.

IT'S THE FACT THAT OUR RIGHTS ARE NOT BEING UPHELD IN SOME WAY.

>> CHARLES, REALLY -- IS THIS EXACTLY -- IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED TO HAPPEN AS THE ARTIST, TO SEE PEOPLE STOP, AND I MEAN IT'S LIKE IT'S ALIVE!

>> YES, ABSOLUTELY.

YOU MAY NOT GET EVERYONE, BUT ONCE IN A WHILE YOU'LL GET THAT ONE INDIVIDUAL THAT REALLY STOPS AND READS THE WHOLE THING, AND GETS A GREAT BREAKTHROUGH FROM IT.

>> WELL, YOU KNOW WE'RE ON THIS WHIRLWIND TOUR OF LOS ANGELES STATUES TODAY.

>> I HEARD THAT.

>> WE'VE BEEN ALL OVER THE PLACE.

WE'RE RUNNING THEM RAGGED.

AND WE WERE THINKING ABOUT WHERE WE COULD CUT, YOU KNOW, WHERE ARE WE GOING TO GO, WHERE ARE WE NOT GOING TO GO, BECAUSE WE CAN'T GET ALL 15 THAT WE HAD STARTED OFF TO SEE TODAY.

I'M GLAD WE DIDN'T CUT THIS ONE, BECAUSE THIS IS -- THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL AND A VERY INSPIRATIONAL PIECE, AND AN EXAMPLE OF A PIECE THAT ACTUALLY BELONGS TO A COMMUNITY.

IT'S LOCATED IN A COMMUNITY AND IT SPEAKS TO A COMMUNITY.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

AND THE COMMUNITY WORKED VERY HARD OVER A PERIOD OF ABOUT 5 OR 10 YEARS ACTUALLY, JUST IN TRYING GET PAST THE POLITICS AND TO PRESENT THE PIECE.

>> A LOT OF POLITICS?

>> OH, MAN, ABSOLUTELY.

WE'RE TALKING PUBLIC ART HERE!

>> I GUESS THAT'S SOMETHING WE HASN'T REALLY TALKED ABOUT, IT'S PROBABLY A GOOD THING WE HAVEN'T, BUT I'M SURE THAT EVERY STATUE IN THIS CITY, REGARDLESS OF WHEN IT WAS ERECTED HAD TO GO THROUGH THE POLITICS AT THE TIME TO GET IT ERECTED.

>> THEY APPROVED IT.

>> THAT'S SOMETHING, I GUESS THAT'S PART OF WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT, IS POLITICS, BUT I'M GLAD YOU OVERCAME THE POLITICS.

>> OH, YEAH, RIGHT!

>> YOU STUCK WITH IT, YOU WORKED THROUGH ALL THE BUREAUCRACY AND YOU GOT YOUR PIECE >> WELL WE HAD FUN.

>> CONGRATULATIONS.

>> THANK YOU.

>> WELL WE ARE ENDING UP HERE IN DOWNTOWN, THE OLD DOWNTOWN OF INGLEWOOD, STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF THIS WONDERFUL OLD ART DECO 1930'S WPA KIND OF A POST OFFICE WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY STILL IN OPERATION, AND WE HAVE COME HERE TO TAKE A LOOK AT ONE LAST STATUE, JULIE, AND THIS STATUE KIND OF POINTS OF WHAT?

>> THAT MEMORIALS CAN BE ERECTED TO ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE AND EVEN DOGS.

>> AND THAT THE MEMORIALS, THE STATUES, DON'T HAVE TO BE GRAND OR WONDERFUL, THEY CAN BE WONDERFUL IN THEIR OWN LITTLE WAY.

>> YES, THEY CAN BE APPROPRIATELY SCALED.

>> OKAY.

APPROPRIATELY SCALED.

THAT WAS A KIND WAY OF PUTTING IT, BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE WE'RE HEADED.

RIGHT HERE, TO THE LITTLE STATUE HERE.

TO PENELOPE, CALLED REX, A FAITHFUL DOG WHICH FOLLOWED THE MAIL CARRIER ON ROUTE 15 IN INGLEWOOD DAILY, FOR MORE THAN 13 YEARS.

THIS FOUNTAIN WAS ERECTED THROUGH POPULAR SUBSCRIPTION RECEIVED FROM CITIZENS AND FRIENDS TO ANIMALS.

NOVEMBER 25TH, 1936.

AND THAT REALLY SUMS IT UP, DOESN'T IT?

>> IT DOES.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY OUR SMALLEST MEMORIAL.

WELL, AND IT'S ALSO, TO ME, POIGNANT, BECAUSE IT WAS RAISED WITH MONEY FROM THE PEOPLE.

>> RIGHT.

RIGHT.

THAT THEY CARED ENOUGH ABOUT SOMETHING AND THEY WANTED IT MEMORIALIZED AND RECALLED TO FUTURE GENERATIONS.

>> WELL, IT ALL WORKS, WHETHER THEY'RE BIG STATUES OR LITTLE STATUES, WHETHER THEY'RE STATUES TO FAMOUS POPULAR FIGURES OR TO OBSCURE FIGURES, WHETHER THEY'RE IN NEED OF REPAIR, OR WHETHER THEY HAVE BEEN TOUCHED AND LOVED, LIKE THIS LITTLE STATUE HAS, THEY'RE ALL PART OF WHO WE ARE AS A COMMUNITY, AREN'T THEY JULIE?

>> THEY ABSOLUTELY ARE.

I LIKE THE FACT THAT THIS ONE HAS A -- THAT IT'S SCALED TO THE SIZE OF DOGS AND THAT THERE'S A LITTLE LAP POOL HERE IN THE FRONT FOR THEM TO TAKE A DRINK.

>> RIGHT.

SO IT'S USEFUL AS WELL.

WELL IT ALL WORKS, AND IF WE'VE LEARNED ANYTHING FROM THIS ADVENTURE TODAY, BECAUSE WE HAVE JUST SCRAPED THE SURFACE, WE HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN TO THE STATUES THAT WERE ON OUR LIST HAVE WE?

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

WE HAVE MANY MORE.

>> WE HAVE SKIPPED ABOUT 5 OR 6 OF THEM.

>> AND WE CAN SUPPLY YOU EVEN WITH MORE.

>> WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF STATUES THROUGHOUT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, ALL OVER LOS ANGELES, AND I GUESS WE SHOULD ALL BE AWARE NOW THAT WE SHOULD STOP AND JUST SPEND A MINUTE OR TWO LOOKING AT THEM, READING THE LEGENDS THEY HAVE, CARE ABOUT REPAIRING THEM AND KEEPING THEM IN GOOD OPERATING ORDER BECAUSE THEY REALLY ARE A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY, PART OF WHO WE ARE, AND HOPEFULLY WE'VE ALL LEARNED A LITTLE BIT MORE APPRECIATION OF THESE STATUES THROUGH OUR TOUR TODAY.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AND LET'S ALL START LOOKING AT OUR STATUES FROM NOW ON, AND ENJOYING THEM.

GOODBYE EVERYBODY!
