Description
Artist James Redmond painted a mural, “History of San Pedro Harbor,” at Phineas Banning High School in Los Angeles, CA. He was funded by the Federal Arts Project (FAP).
The mural “shows high points in the harbor’s history beginning with a group of aborigines watching the landing of Cabrillo” (Wells, p. 21).
Redmond’s other New Deal–funded works in the region include a post office mural in Compton, CA, and a mural at Thomas Starr King Middle School in Los Angeles, CA.
