Cesar Chavez mural made of 5500 dominos

40 students. 6 weeks. 5500 dominos. One awesome mural of Cesar Chavez.

NBC San Diego reports:

Students and staff from O'Farrell Community School started this mural using blueprints, and then they glued them to vinyl tiles. They dedicated this 10-foot mural to farm labor leader Cesar Chavez. "About two months ago, we decided to do something for the community and what better thing to do than dedicate this to Cesar Chavez. We started telling the kids about it, letting them know what he did, his legacy and how he brought people together for a good cause," says O'Farell's Spanish instructor Jose Islas.

It isn’t overtly stated in this article, but I assume dominos were used because pushing one domino can start a whole chain reaction – something that Chavez did with his actions
