After I learned about the struggle of the community to build a park\, I knew that I would always be connected. Through my passion as an Azteca-Chichimeca danzante\, I dance at the park and ask creator to bless each and every one of you. The community of Logan Heights is an inspiration for all–a vibrant example of resilience and self-determination. ¡Que viva Chicano Park! \n-Beatrice Zamora-Aguilar \n				\n			 \n			 \n				\n				\n			 \n				\n				\n				\n				\n			 \n				\n				\n			 \n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			 \n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR \nIt’s an honor and privilege to be able to do what I love for such an important part of our culture and community. I encourage everyone to stay connected to your roots\, find your passion and never give up on what you believe in. Walk around the park and let the beautiful murals tell you the history of its struggles\, victories and protectors. Let it remind you of the warrior you are meant to be…¡Sí Se Puede! \n-Maira Meza \n  \n				\n			 \n			 \n				\n				\n			 \n				\n				\n			 			\n			\n
