This weekend, south San Diego County celebrates the restoration of one of the world's largest collections of outdoor murals. They depict the struggles and triumphs of the Chicano Pride movement, and they've garnered worldwide attention since they were first painted in 1973. Many of the original artists have returned to touch-up their own work, nearly 40 years later.
