Walking on Spring Street in downtown L.A. a while back, I noticed the mural on the exterior of City Hall East, the secondary City Hall building on the east side of Spring. Wondering if the mural might be by longtime Claremont and Pomona artist Millard Sheets, and in no hurry, I stepped closer. Indeed it is.

The 28-by-60-foot mural, “The Family of Man,” was installed in 1972 and envisioned as a way to celebrate diversity. Click here to see more images of the mural and read a short explanation.
