As Los Angeles burgeoned into a modern metropolis, its historic heart fell into ruin, to be revitalized by the creation in 1930 of the romantic Mexican marketplace at Olvera Street. Here, two years later, David Alfaro Siqueiros painted the landmark mural \u003ci\u003eAmérica Tropical,\u003c\/i\u003e whose story is a fascinating tale of art, politics, and censorship.
