public art on the Mandela Parkway in West Oakland
Oakland, California
Thursday, December 22, 2011

There used to be a multi-level elevated roadway that ran through this neighborhood. The 1989 earthquake caused serious damage to this roadway, and the local residents rushed to the aid of the people who were trapped in the wreckage. The residents used their own ladders, including some that were rickety and patched with duct tape.

This sculpture commemorates the courage and resourcefulness of these West Oakland residents.

With Gail having grown up in Piedmont, we watched all the coverage. We were watching the SF-Oakland World Series when it occurred
The previous summer we had been there visiting here folks.

That sculpture is so simple, but it says so much.
