The Lead Artist was Javier Rocabado , the Lead Director: David Burke and the team of artists included Lindsey Millikan, Pancho Pescador, Vanessa Espinoza (Agana), Joseph Aponte, David Platford, Dan Bortz, James Shields, Dave Kim, Jessica Eastburn, Dawood (Marion) Sekhem, Keena Romano and Antonio Ramos. Muralist Antonio Ramos was shot and killed in front of his fellow team of painters during the process of this mural. The muralists then returned and continued to paint the mural in his honor.
The series of Super Heroes Murals involve AHC teaching a course to school children in which they begin to envision themselves as super heroes. They identify fears and problems in their community and write stories in how super heroes could address them. The kids then meet with the Lead Artist who designs with them and creates a visual representation based on this collaboration. The mural team then completes the mural with the Lead Artist and Lead Director followed by a huge ribbon cutting ceremony where the kids can see their vision realized.
