2025 ENDANGERED LATINX LANDMARKS 

The 24th Street Murals in San Francisco's Mission District are integral to the Calle 24 Latino Cultural District, the city's first officially designated cultural district, recognized in 2014 for its rich Latino heritage. Created since the 1970s, these murals reflect the community's history, identity, and activism. Notable works by artists such as Juana Alicia, Roberto Hernandez, and Malaquias Montoya depict themes including labor, immigration, and women's roles. Today, environmental exposure, gentrification, and vandalism threaten these murals. Protecting and maintaining them is critical to preserving the living cultural landscape and the stories of generations of San Francisco's Latinx artists and residents.

"We’re stoked that a scrappy group of preservationists can look at a scrappy neighborhood group and say, “We see you.” In return we say, “We see you too." — Aureliano "Yano" Rivera, Conservator, Mission Murals: Legado Colorido
