Lou's Legacy Mural
Lou's Legacy Mural
The mural of Lou Cardenas is on the north side of our building. With direction from Lou's family members, Longmont artist Mario Miguel Echevarria painted Lou Cardenas' life --from her family's beginnings as agricultural workers in 1929 to Lou opening the first small Senior Opportunity Center in Longmont in 1971. The mural depicts Lou's path from farm hand to advocate for the Latino community of Longmont to builder of bridges across ethnic lines.
The mural serves as a symbol of the diversity of Longmont and as a reminder that one person can make a difference and be an agent of positive change. May we all have the courage to follow Lou's example.
Members of Lou's family stand below the mural on the day of the dedication ceremony. They are from left to right: Michael Gomez, Bonnie Jean Chadwick, Barbie Mendez, Dorothy Martinez, Mary Arguello, Lydia Gomez, Rose Lontine, and Julian Lontine.
