1
00:00:05.340 --> 00:00:07.000
Give us your name.

2
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:08.900
Now?

3
00:00:09.600 --> 00:00:10.780
Jose Guerrero.

4
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:11.340
Date?

5
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:15.700
October 29, 1988.

6
00:00:15.900 --> 00:00:19.000
And then say this is, what's the name of this mural?

7
00:00:19.360 --> 00:00:21.380
Smash Plan 21.

8
00:00:22.220 --> 00:00:25.480
So this is real one for Smash Plan 21.

9
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:26.200
Audio tape.

10
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:27.540
Thanks.

11
00:00:27.540 --> 00:00:33.560
Well, I think if you just say...

12
00:00:34.680 --> 00:00:36.520
Just say Jose, that's all.

13
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:37.240
Roll one...

14
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:40.220
Well, say...

15
00:00:40.220 --> 00:00:42.320
Say, yeah, give the date.

16
00:00:42.580 --> 00:00:43.780
Say it's 1029.

17
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:47.420
Say Jose describing Plan 21.

18
00:00:48.340 --> 00:00:49.360
Smash Plan 21.

19
00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:49.740
Roll one.

20
00:00:50.820 --> 00:00:51.860
Say when.

21
00:00:53.340 --> 00:00:53.340


22
00:01:04.060 --> 00:01:05.320
Hello, sister.

23
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:07.020
Okay.

24
00:01:07.780 --> 00:01:08.340
Are you rolling?

25
00:01:09.380 --> 00:01:10.840
Make me...

26
00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:12.300
Okay, so later.

27
00:01:12.740 --> 00:01:14.080
10, this is 1029.

28
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:17.940
This is Jose Guerrero talking about Smash Plan 21.

29
00:01:17.940 --> 00:01:19.660
This is roll one.

30
00:01:21.800 --> 00:01:22.020
Okay.

31
00:01:22.780 --> 00:01:26.900
So can you tell me a little bit about this mural?

32
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:30.360
Can you describe the composition a little bit?

33
00:01:30.820 --> 00:01:31.640
The composition?

34
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:34.760
Like what are these babies in here?

35
00:01:34.800 --> 00:01:35.440
What's this?

36
00:01:35.860 --> 00:01:40.940
Well, see, the babies actually come less because that's...

37
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:45.240
This is showing like the people pushing the wheel this way.

38
00:01:46.600 --> 00:01:48.840
And the city hall pushing this way, see?

39
00:01:49.240 --> 00:01:51.020
How did you decide to paint this mural?

40
00:01:52.140 --> 00:01:55.240
Because during that time they were talking about...

41
00:01:56.220 --> 00:01:57.720
They had a suit against the plan, you know.

42
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:00.660
A lot of people had a suit against it.

43
00:02:01.380 --> 00:02:05.120
And the plan was to dislocate people from the area,

44
00:02:06.580 --> 00:02:07.740
as they're doing now,

45
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:11.160
and replace them with upper middle class people.

46
00:02:11.160 --> 00:02:16.420
So that's where we got the idea to do the Smash Plan 21.

47
00:02:16.420 --> 00:02:19.600
So how did the... how did the... how did the images in here...

48
00:02:19.600 --> 00:02:20.540
What's your message?

49
00:02:21.720 --> 00:02:24.700
Well, the message is that the people, not all of them,

50
00:02:24.740 --> 00:02:29.600
but a large group of people are still fighting to keep their neighborhoods, see?

51
00:02:30.700 --> 00:02:35.940
And of course the money people fighting to renovate the area.

52
00:02:35.940 --> 00:02:42.880
And also, you know, dislocate the people that live here.

53
00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:47.040
Like happened over at Truman College where they... at Uptown,

54
00:02:47.820 --> 00:02:53.240
they built a college and dislocated about 1200 units of housing for the poor.

55
00:02:54.020 --> 00:02:55.180
And they're doing that here too, see?

56
00:02:55.200 --> 00:02:57.320
So whatever happened with Plan 21?

57
00:02:59.060 --> 00:03:02.840
It's... it's worse, I know. It's still in effect and people are moving.

58
00:03:03.640 --> 00:03:07.300
See, the reason people came to this area, like in the 50s,

59
00:03:07.780 --> 00:03:12.860
they came from the... from the South, Appalachia, and blacks, Hispanics,

60
00:03:13.020 --> 00:03:14.100
and people from Puerto Rico.

61
00:03:14.580 --> 00:03:16.460
This was the area that they settled in, see?

62
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:19.760
Let's stop here for a moment, because the sun has changed.

63
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.440
Also, I want to make sure... let's not get too general about Plan 21,

64
00:03:23.640 --> 00:03:26.340
because that... you know, we can do that once longer.

65
00:03:26.340 --> 00:03:27.460
Okay, so we need to talk about...

66
00:03:27.460 --> 00:03:30.840
We really need to talk about the images and had you really...

67
00:03:32.020 --> 00:03:34.580
Somebody wandered off. They have... they look at this and they go,

68
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:36.840
I have not the faintest idea what any of this...

69
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:46.400
Okay.

70
00:03:46.660 --> 00:03:48.160
Yeah, so can you tell me what this is about?

71
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:50.080
Well, see, the image is actually...

72
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.600
it shows the people from the neighborhood, working class people,

73
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:58.100
struggling against the people from City Hall, you know, like the realtors,

74
00:03:58.600 --> 00:03:59.940
and the money people.

75
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:06.360
And of course, that up there, that tarp over there,

76
00:04:06.660 --> 00:04:08.660
we got that from drawing that one up there, see?

77
00:04:10.720 --> 00:04:14.000
We drew it and then painted it there.

78
00:04:14.440 --> 00:04:17.420
It symbolizes the plan, you know, instead of drawing a lot of plans,

79
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:18.940
we do the... that is a symbol.

80
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:23.940
The people back in the plan, you know, like the politicians,

81
00:04:25.620 --> 00:04:30.940
the police, the clergy, not all the clergy, you know, but some of them.

82
00:04:31.460 --> 00:04:37.380
And then of course, the wheel, it indicates like something spinning.

83
00:04:38.620 --> 00:04:42.720
In other words, it symbolizes also like machinery or working class,

84
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:46.380
a working class symbol, I would say.

85
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:48.940
And then the people up there on that side,

86
00:04:50.740 --> 00:04:53.660
pushing, you know, like a struggle.

87
00:04:55.180 --> 00:04:57.940
And hopefully, like the other guy said, the other artist that worked with me,

88
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:06.820
says that from that struggle, that maybe new people, you know, come out of this, you know.

89
00:05:08.180 --> 00:05:12.320
And then it shows a little girl there planting a tree,

90
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:14.940
because they had mentioned they were going to plant trees here,

91
00:05:16.180 --> 00:05:17.260
but that was ten years ago.

92
00:05:18.320 --> 00:05:21.760
And I guess they did plant some, you know, but she had one there.

93
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.780
At that time, there weren't any sidewalks here.

94
00:05:24.780 --> 00:05:27.820
There was just this one here and a bunch of parking meters.

95
00:05:29.400 --> 00:05:34.360
And she's about to plant a tree, and then there's people coming out of school, you know,

96
00:05:35.200 --> 00:05:41.160
because education is part of, you know, struggling against whatever, you know,

97
00:05:41.260 --> 00:05:43.140
whatever the thing is that they're fighting.

98
00:05:47.260 --> 00:05:51.540
Well, the star, you know, they got their politics,

99
00:05:52.180 --> 00:05:55.400
and the people here got theirs, you know, like a bright shining star.

100
00:05:57.380 --> 00:06:03.000
And then they got a banner that says, Save Our Homes.

101
00:06:04.200 --> 00:06:07.060
In other words, not to be dislocated, but they want to stay here.

102
00:06:17.260 --> 00:06:17.540
You know?

103
00:06:22.100 --> 00:06:23.380
Take three.

104
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:27.040
Did you hear that snap on his mic?

105
00:06:28.500 --> 00:06:30.000
Better do it again.

106
00:06:30.880 --> 00:06:33.260
Okay. Take three.

107
00:06:36.260 --> 00:06:39.480
Okay, so we were talking about the big heads, I think?

108
00:06:40.020 --> 00:06:41.980
Talk about the big heads a little bit?

109
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:43.000
The description?

110
00:06:44.900 --> 00:06:44.900


111
00:06:44.900 --> 00:06:54.240
Well, like I said, the description is that,

112
00:06:54.240 --> 00:07:00.080
the description is that that wheel, and this was some of the guys that sponsored the group,

113
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:01.900
not them, you know, but some of the,

114
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:06.000
some of the, what do you call them?

115
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:07.420
Ancestors, whatever.

116
00:07:08.700 --> 00:07:14.540
Anyway, the wheel indicates, you know, like a symbol of working class people, see?

117
00:07:14.900 --> 00:07:18.580
And the people over here are the people of the neighborhood.

118
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:24.020
Of course, they're more advanced because they're the ones that are doing the fighting back.

119
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:28.660
And they're pushing the wheel, and these people over here are pushing it back, see?

120
00:07:29.900 --> 00:07:33.840
Those are the people, the realtors, or the money people.

121
00:07:35.740 --> 00:07:40.440
And like I said, that top over there represents like Plan 21.

122
00:07:45.880 --> 00:07:51.400
Well, see, the other guy was two guys working, me and this other man, and other people helping, of course.

123
00:07:51.980 --> 00:07:54.640
I was doing mostly the bottom part, and he was doing the heads.

124
00:07:56.020 --> 00:08:05.800
And he says that the head symbolizes use rising up from the, from what's going on now, you know, to a better living conditions.

125
00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:07.900
That's the way he put it.

126
00:08:09.020 --> 00:08:10.900
But other people said, you know,

127
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:12.480
that,

128
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:21.780
that they thought that it represented, you know, girls having babies.

129
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:25.840
What about this writing down here?

130
00:08:26.760 --> 00:08:31.720
Well, I asked him this morning the same thing, but I already knew, but I told him that somebody had asked about it.

131
00:08:31.980 --> 00:08:37.100
And he said it leads to nowhere. He just put it there so people would ask or get close to the mural,

132
00:08:37.820 --> 00:08:42.940
you know, to bring them from across the street and start trying to figure it out.

133
00:08:48.520 --> 00:08:54.160
Well, like I said, we didn't prepare it that well, you know, as we do now. We do a better job on them now.

134
00:08:55.140 --> 00:09:00.340
But basically we just put some base paint. We didn't bother too much to scrape it or anything, you know.

135
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:05.460
We clean it off and then put the base paint on it, started drawing on it.

136
00:09:07.100 --> 00:09:08.920
What part came out?

137
00:09:10.140 --> 00:09:13.440
Well, first we did like this, like the circle.

138
00:09:14.300 --> 00:09:21.620
And then we started putting the figures on the, you know, the figures on the wall there, on both sides.

139
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.740
And then we started doing the dots.

140
00:09:26.940 --> 00:09:31.760
And he started doing the, you know, the figure of the girls there.

141
00:09:34.700 --> 00:09:35.700
So let's see.

142
00:09:37.800 --> 00:09:41.400
What are some of these, like, what's that swastika doing down there?

143
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:50.140
Well, that's due to the fact that a lot of the planners, since they're trying to separate people,

144
00:09:50.260 --> 00:09:54.360
we figure that they were those type of people, you know, that they were racist.

145
00:09:55.540 --> 00:10:00.520
And that's how we use, well, I use a swastika a lot of times, you know, to represent racism.

146
00:10:01.020 --> 00:10:03.440
And then who's this figure here with all the muscles?

147
00:10:05.880 --> 00:10:14.320
That, the other guy, Martinez, Oscar Martinez, he works in anatomy, you know.

148
00:10:14.900 --> 00:10:18.740
So he started doing the, he did that one with the muscles, you know.

149
00:10:18.860 --> 00:10:20.440
He likes going into stuff like that.

150
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:24.820
And where did you get the idea for these different characters?

151
00:10:24.820 --> 00:10:26.600
What about the businessmen?

152
00:10:27.680 --> 00:10:34.780
Well, they represent the different people that they associate with each other, you know.

153
00:10:34.820 --> 00:10:41.600
For instance, like the politicians or the realtors or the people who own the buildings.

154
00:10:43.580 --> 00:10:51.820
And then, of course, the, you know, people from, that have a lot of money, they invest, you know, for the...

155
00:10:52.340 --> 00:10:53.160
The man with the woman?

156
00:10:54.820 --> 00:10:58.400
The woman, she represents like some high society woman, yeah.

157
00:10:59.920 --> 00:11:11.260
And then, of course, the police, the companies on the back that tend to gain from taking over the area,

158
00:11:11.500 --> 00:11:16.660
standard all commonwealth and the telephone companies and whatever, you know.

159
00:11:17.300 --> 00:11:22.000
I noticed you have the Sears tower and the J&M. Why did you put those in there?

160
00:11:22.580 --> 00:11:25.660
Well, like I said, it represents, you know, people from downtown.

161
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:28.660
It represents people that got money, you know.

162
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:34.920
Because also the people that, actually, the middle class people is the one that they want to bring back to this area.

163
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:45.600
And the people from here are supposed to move down to, further down, you know, into already crowded areas over there now, Sears and Berwyn.

164
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:47.600
Mm-hmm.

165
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:51.920
That's okay.

166
00:11:52.380 --> 00:11:54.480
I can't think of any more questions.

167
00:12:00.760 --> 00:12:03.120
We're getting to the rail.

168
00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:05.780
Okay, go ahead and sleep.

169
00:12:06.520 --> 00:12:10.060
Olga, November 13th, scene one, take one.

170
00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:11.000
Yeah.

171
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:17.600
Okay.

172
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:23.000
Okay.

173
00:12:30.300 --> 00:12:31.700
Okay.

174
00:12:38.800 --> 00:12:42.180
Where do you want to go?

175
00:12:45.680 --> 00:12:52.660
To the aquarium. We said we're going out to see some things around the neighborhood, didn't you?

176
00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:56.600
Okay, you want me to move the car?

177
00:12:57.640 --> 00:12:58.940
That's where I want to go.

178
00:12:59.900 --> 00:13:00.180
Okay.

179
00:13:01.580 --> 00:13:02.140
Okay.

180
00:13:04.660 --> 00:13:06.760
Open up the door enough that you can see Julie.

181
00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:08.960
Hey, picture.

182
00:13:13.400 --> 00:13:13.920
Okay.

183
00:13:13.920 --> 00:13:15.500
Okay, slate. Be sure to say take two.

184
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.440
Okay. Olga, November 13th, take two.

185
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:40.920
Let's try to go to Gabriela.

186
00:13:48.800 --> 00:13:49.040
Okay.

187
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:51.960
Okay.

188
00:13:52.980 --> 00:13:52.980


189
00:13:54.100 --> 00:13:55.700
Where do you want to go?

190
00:13:58.420 --> 00:14:02.760
No, aquarium. I told you I was going to take you around to the neighborhood and show you there.

191
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:05.240


192
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:08.940
So, we're going to go in this car.

193
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:09.720
Okay.

194
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:36.620
Olga, November 13th, scene two, take one.

195
00:14:42.040 --> 00:14:42.720
Okay.

196
00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:43.380
There's bats.

197
00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:44.860
There's a little one.

198
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:48.400
Are they the same way?

199
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:49.960
Okay, let's go.

200
00:14:50.620 --> 00:14:54.820
Okay. I want to show you these.

201
00:15:06.140 --> 00:15:07.900
Hi, can you hear me?

202
00:15:07.900 --> 00:15:08.880
Or not?

203
00:15:09.420 --> 00:15:09.900
Because there aren't.

204
00:15:11.100 --> 00:15:11.920
Wait, talk again.

205
00:15:12.100 --> 00:15:12.560
Alright, well.

206
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:14.920
I think I've got you, yeah.

207
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:15.840
I can't think.

208
00:15:16.340 --> 00:15:19.980
There are a lot of cars out here, but it's really lovely. The weather's really very nice.

209
00:15:20.860 --> 00:15:24.000
We're so lucky, in fact, that it's so warm today, but it's so pleasant.

210
00:15:24.340 --> 00:15:25.620
It's expected to be sunny all afternoon.

211
00:15:25.640 --> 00:15:29.440
Get your audio slate first, and then do the clap for the very last thing.

212
00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:29.880
Okay.

213
00:15:30.580 --> 00:15:31.420
Okay, roll audio.

214
00:15:31.860 --> 00:15:32.620
We're rolling.

215
00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:35.700
Okay, slate.

216
00:15:35.700 --> 00:15:39.700
Scene two, take two, Olga Nuno, November 13th.

217
00:15:43.180 --> 00:15:44.520
Okay, thank you.

218
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:24.860
Thank you.

219
00:16:58.280 --> 00:16:59.680
Okay.

220
00:16:59.680 --> 00:17:01.840
Very good.

221
00:17:03.520 --> 00:17:05.980
He's an awesome Indian warrior.

222
00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:10.840
And see that eagle over there?

223
00:17:12.620 --> 00:17:13.260
That eagle?

224
00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:14.580
What?

225
00:17:15.080 --> 00:17:18.680
That one that kind of has like little, over there.

226
00:17:20.320 --> 00:17:22.980
Right by the man with the green shirt.

227
00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:24.400
Green shirt.

228
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:25.180
Yeah.

229
00:17:25.180 --> 00:17:29.240
Well, that's the symbol of Farmers' Union.

230
00:17:29.280 --> 00:17:30.180
And it's red and it's black, the eagle.

231
00:17:31.360 --> 00:17:32.180
Uh-huh.

232
00:17:34.080 --> 00:17:34.080


233
00:17:37.500 --> 00:17:38.700
And, what's the word?

234
00:17:38.700 --> 00:17:41.080
What is that?

235
00:17:42.180 --> 00:17:42.660
Hmm?

236
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:46.420
Those are houses.

237
00:17:47.420 --> 00:17:53.440
Because one of the things that people feel that we need is housing for people so they

238
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:55.280
can live and not be crowded.

239
00:18:00.760 --> 00:18:01.400
And...

240
00:18:03.100 --> 00:18:04.420
What does it say?

241
00:18:04.420 --> 00:18:06.420
It's in Spanish, but read it.

242
00:18:08.020 --> 00:18:08.900
It says what?

243
00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:10.300
In English?

244
00:18:11.220 --> 00:18:12.060
No, the top.

245
00:18:14.060 --> 00:18:14.700
Educacion.

246
00:18:14.700 --> 00:18:17.700
Educacion para los...

247
00:18:19.280 --> 00:18:21.020
You're making it up.

248
00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:28.180
Educacion bilingue y bicultural.

249
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:29.740
No.

250
00:18:32.980 --> 00:18:35.180
Un derecho a un privilegio.

251
00:18:35.560 --> 00:18:36.700
That's what it says.

252
00:18:39.820 --> 00:18:43.380
She still makes up words when I ask her to read.

253
00:18:44.700 --> 00:18:47.720
She's real smart because we're teaching her to read.

254
00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:50.040
I'm moving it.

255
00:18:50.620 --> 00:18:51.500
What do you think it means?

256
00:18:52.260 --> 00:18:53.480
Notice how it's delayed now.

257
00:18:53.800 --> 00:18:54.580
That's the playback.

258
00:18:54.800 --> 00:18:55.800
So just do that every now and then.

259
00:18:56.360 --> 00:18:56.920
No.

260
00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:00.120
What do two hands grasp together mean?

261
00:19:02.060 --> 00:19:02.580
Friends.

262
00:19:02.580 --> 00:19:03.400
You got it.

263
00:19:03.460 --> 00:19:04.100
You got it.

264
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:07.240
That's what it means.

265
00:19:07.520 --> 00:19:09.280
It also means being together.

266
00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:11.420
I think it's...

267
00:19:11.420 --> 00:19:11.640
Ready?

268
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:13.660
I want to...

269
00:19:13.660 --> 00:19:14.840
Olga.

270
00:19:16.080 --> 00:19:19.520
Olga, November 13th, scene 3, take 2.

271
00:19:20.280 --> 00:19:20.920
Okay, this time.

272
00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:22.500
Action, yeah.

273
00:19:22.940 --> 00:19:23.440
Okay, Olga.

274
00:19:24.980 --> 00:19:25.440
Okay.

275
00:19:27.500 --> 00:19:28.100
Well...

276
00:19:28.100 --> 00:19:29.280
I don't want to go there.

277
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:31.800
What did you say this meant?

278
00:19:32.840 --> 00:19:33.280
Friends.

279
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:37.220
Yeah, and the two hands together with the map of the Americas.

280
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:38.460
That's what it meant.

281
00:19:38.460 --> 00:19:42.000
And this is one of the biggest heroes of the Americas.

282
00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:44.660
He was the first...

283
00:19:47.280 --> 00:19:48.440
The first...

284
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:49.080
President.

285
00:19:49.560 --> 00:19:50.400
You get it.

286
00:19:50.420 --> 00:19:50.900
You get it.

287
00:19:50.900 --> 00:19:54.360
The first president of Mexico that was an Indian,

288
00:19:55.080 --> 00:19:59.780
as opposed to one of the big sheds of the Americans.

289
00:20:00.500 --> 00:20:03.360
He led a revolution, too.

290
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:05.440
Because in the movie I saw...

291
00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:06.940
You saw the movie with him?

292
00:20:07.180 --> 00:20:07.620
No.

293
00:20:07.620 --> 00:20:10.620
But I remember a young man that...

294
00:20:11.340 --> 00:20:15.080
He got the flag and he rolled down with the flag.

295
00:20:16.280 --> 00:20:16.340
Yeah.

296
00:20:16.760 --> 00:20:18.400
This is another big hero.

297
00:20:19.220 --> 00:20:21.060
And see how big the face is?

298
00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:22.320
It's part of it.

299
00:20:22.420 --> 00:20:24.600
This is so people know that they were important.

300
00:20:24.700 --> 00:20:27.080
So they paint him very big.

301
00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:31.860
And this one especially, like the big hands breaking the chains.

302
00:20:33.980 --> 00:20:38.200
That meant to us that we would no longer be oppressed.

303
00:20:39.080 --> 00:20:40.800
That's a big word, right?

304
00:20:41.100 --> 00:20:42.140
You know what that means?

305
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:43.200


306
00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:47.300
Well, that people felt like they were in chains and they couldn't move.

307
00:20:47.780 --> 00:20:51.200
They couldn't go anywhere and they couldn't speak their mind.

308
00:20:52.300 --> 00:20:54.880
So that represents breaking the chains.

309
00:20:55.140 --> 00:20:56.420
That's what it represents.

310
00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:58.860
That you were free again.

311
00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:02.240
And like the fire, too.

312
00:21:02.820 --> 00:21:10.480
That's another symbol of strength and that we were able to move on.

313
00:21:11.100 --> 00:21:12.320
What does this mean?

314
00:21:12.560 --> 00:21:13.040
The eagle.

315
00:21:13.260 --> 00:21:14.120
You've seen the eagle?

316
00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:15.000
Yeah.

317
00:21:15.660 --> 00:21:17.260
You've seen it in the flag, haven't you?

318
00:21:17.560 --> 00:21:17.900
Yeah.

319
00:21:18.060 --> 00:21:19.900
But what does this mean?

320
00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:21.620
That man with the tiger.

321
00:21:22.140 --> 00:21:23.320
The man with the tiger.

322
00:21:23.600 --> 00:21:28.900
He's a warrior from the...

323
00:21:28.900 --> 00:21:31.200
It would either be Aztec.

324
00:21:32.320 --> 00:21:38.120
And they would put on, before they went to fight, they would put on their favorite...

325
00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:39.560
Suits.

326
00:21:39.800 --> 00:21:40.060
Suits.

327
00:21:40.060 --> 00:21:40.680
How do you do that one?

328
00:21:41.100 --> 00:21:42.960
And they try to...

329
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:44.160
Scare the other people.

330
00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:44.800
Yeah.

331
00:21:45.180 --> 00:21:46.680
That's what it was for.

332
00:21:46.940 --> 00:21:48.900
That was their...

333
00:21:49.620 --> 00:21:52.700
By doing this, they would look fierce and strong.

334
00:21:53.460 --> 00:21:54.580
More scary.

335
00:21:54.860 --> 00:21:55.660
More scary.

336
00:21:55.740 --> 00:21:56.640
That's right.

337
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:01.080
This is the eagle that's in the Mexican flag.

338
00:22:01.460 --> 00:22:02.920
And you see it in other flags.

339
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:04.780
And also, that's a symbol of strength.

340
00:22:05.080 --> 00:22:07.080
And sometimes they're crowned.

341
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:09.900
Sometimes they have a crown, yes.

342
00:22:10.860 --> 00:22:12.160
Depending what it is.

343
00:22:13.160 --> 00:22:17.000
And that's another warrior behind you.

344
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:21.640
Behind that is the...

345
00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:28.100
Also an Indian warrior.

346
00:22:31.060 --> 00:22:34.600
And they all look brown, because that's what we look like, right?

347
00:22:36.820 --> 00:22:37.460
Looks great.

348
00:22:37.740 --> 00:22:38.460
Okay, good.

349
00:22:40.820 --> 00:22:41.400
We're done?
