An unidentified Mexican American woman finishes a spray painted message on the wall of an apartment building that was damaged in an explosion at 1547 Downing Street in Denver, Colorado. The message reads: "We are not beaten and we do not intend to be beaten or driven as such ... what has happened here is but the sound before the fury of those who are oppressed". The building was damaged in an explosion that followed a shootout between Denver police and people of the Chicano community on March 16th, 1973.
