"Mexican history mural at Thomas Jefferson School in Compton"

Dr. Goodman explains the following to a reporter. The Compton Unified School District felt that since Thomas Jefferson School was in a barrio, there was a need to represent the background of the Mexican people there, and here in general in this country. After 1 1/2 years of research by students and their art teacher Mr. de Leon, in conjunction with several organizations, a mural of Mexican history was made.
