El Altar

Inside a Mexican home, the television set becomes an altar. Above it hang portraits of John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy—leaders working toward equality who were assassinated in the 1960s. On the television screen, Robert F. Kennedy delivers his "Ripple of Hope" address during his 1966 visit to Cape Town University in apartheid South Africa:

"Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation… Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."

Proceeds support the Great Wall of Los Angeles expansion and SPARC.
