Unidos mural on Denver's Auraria campus celebrates Latino community
The Unidos mural on the Auraria campus celebrates Denver's Latino community. The mural is located on the west side of the P.E. Building at 11th and Larimer.
Mexican artist Spaik created the 30x120-foot mural that commemorates the 200th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Mexico and the United States.
