California Love
I taught art at Fremont HS in the 90s. I’ve been at South Gate HS since 2000.

They were all over the halls at Fremont! Back then, I could occasionally earn the trust of a tagger, and they would kill it in the class. I also remember the anguished conversations about Juvie and kids in the system, and kids shot in the streets. Thank you for this beautiful local history of a time and place and people who have been exploited and misunderstood. Graffiti/tagging/writing is the great vernacular art of LA. V.
