La Raza Unida is a bronze and painted steel artwork that is a synthesis of symbols that depict Mestizaje, racial unity, and the struggle for equal justice in America. The dominant symbol is the wings of the American eagle that is defined as the spirit of being open to everyone. The bottom half of the eagle's body is a combined design of four different races of arms and hands that come together in harmony to represent unity.
