Nixon spotting in Whittier

Hi all,

I was home this weekend and wanted to share this piece of art installed as homage to our most famous (and controversial) one-time resident.


This mural was comissioned by local business owners Gio Alonso and Leeba Lessin to memorialize the link between Nixon and Whittier. In an interview with Whittier College's newspaper, Alonso recognized the contention surrounding the president's legacy, but wanted to honor his leadership and contributions in the fields of environmentalism, women's rights, and international relations.

This mural is the first piece of public art in Whittier, and can be found on Bailey Street.
