L.A's Lone Sentinel: The Bracero Monument

The Bracero Monument towers 19 feet high, created from bronze and perched precariously on a concrete plaza along César Chávez Avenue, California. Artist Dan Medina's work is a tribute to the Mexican Braceros, symbolized by three bronze figures: a man, a woman, and a boy. This program, which ran from 1942 to 1964, aimed to address America's labor shortage during World War II by bringing Mexican workers to the U.S. By 2022, this monument - a picture of solitude - juts defiantly into the sky above the U.S.
