DESCRIPTION:Coit Tower Mural Walk\nWith Peter O’Driscoll and Harvey Smith \nLaborfest 
 is proud to present this annual tour of a San Francisco treasure.\n\nIn the 
 past few years, there has been a growing community effort to defend the 
 Coit Tower murals from leaking water and to stop plans for privatization of 
 the site. This led to the critical renovation of the murals on their 80th 
 anniversary. They were being painted during the time of the 1934 general 
 strike in San Francisco.  At the time of their installation, an organized 
 effort was made to destroy them because of the leftist themes. The artists 
 and their supporters had to physically defend the site. The murals were 
 successfully preserved and we have them today as our heritage. The artists 
 were working under the Civil Works Administration and Public Works of Art 
 program, which was later extended to many buildings and sites throughout 
 the U.S.\nSee
