The Great Wall of Los Angeles, located in the Tujunga Flood Control Channel in Valley Glen (San Fernando Valley), is the longest mural in North America as well as the largest monument of interracial harmony in the world. This panel of the wall memorializes the struggles and injustices imposed upon Japanese Americans in California during World War II. Designed between 1976-1984, The Great Wall is currently experiencing a massive restoration project. Keep it tuned... the world is changing before us!
