I wore the same bright yellow dress to SFMOMA's Farewell to the Rivera Mural of Pan American Unity that I'd worn in the early aughts, more than 20 years ago, when Dra. Guadalupe Rivera Marin was with us.
This time I'm posing with Jeff Goldthorpe and Vicki Simms, who both did a lot to promote the mural. The event turned out to center around Will Maynez, who's devoted his life to the mural for decades. Jeff Goldthorpe paid a tribute to Will as a slide of Will working on the mural was being shown. I also spoke. Michelle Barger, head of conservation at SF MOMA, gave us the chance to write something on the back of the mural, and I wrote "Where there's a Will (Maynez), there's a way to keep the mural in the public eye."
