From Monday's local paper:
Artwork Altercation: Members of a group that opposes illegal immigration protested a piece of public art in Baldwin Park, California, with inscriptions they claim are anti-American, sparking heated exchanges with residents of the heavily Hispanic city. Police in riot helmets separated the 40 members of Save Our State and scores of residents Saturday, but there were no reports of arrests or injuries. The artwork, called "Danza Indigenas," has a 20-foot-high arch with inscriptions that read, "It was better before they came" and "This land was Mexican once, was Indian always and is, and will be again."
Anyone in Cali hear about this or know more about it?
