Department, focused on Young Adult literature.

new Pinterest, Twitter, and Facebook pages complete with

mug shots of the perpetrators. She also created a collection

of our Young Adult literature to highlight this year’s theme.

This fun filled day emphasized the importance of defending

the freedom to read and to cherish the liberties that we

enjoy.

EMIGDIO VASQUEZ MURAL RE-DEDICATION

In the B300 building a masterpiece lay largely forgotten. A faded canvas with worn colors like distant

memories from a bygone era hung in the entrance as students and faculty passed by year after year, day

after day.

Through the diligent teamwork of the Vasquez family, IVC Administration, Facilities, and Faculty,

Emigdio Vasquez’s mural La Educación y El Trabajo was restored. Higgy Vasquez, Emigdio’s son,

tirelessly worked to save his father’s mural on site in the B300 building. With the support of

President Glenn Roquemore, the mural was carefully transported to its current home at the Library.

A re-dedication event on the afternoon of September 24, 2015 was held inside

the IVC Library so that students, as well as faculty and community members

could celebrate the unveiling of an important part of IVC history. The Vasquez

family and members of the Chicano community attended to share the cultural

history behind Emigdio’s work. After the unveiling of the mural of its new

location on the Library’s second floor, attendees enjoyed a lively reception

complete with a Mariachi band and Mexican delicacies were served.

It is a great honor for the Library to host a small part of Orange County’s

Chicano History for many years to come. We thank the Vasquez family for their

contribution.

We created a webpage to commemorate the festivities, take a peek:
