The U.S. Postal Service will celebrate lowrider culture Friday by hosting an event at the Logan Heights Library to release a new set of Forever stamps adorned with the "rolling canvases."

In a ceremony open to the public, Chief Postal Inspector Gary Barksdale, of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, will dedicate the stamps featuring lowriders, "rooted in 1940s-era Mexican American and Chicano communities throughout the American Southwest.”

On a typically cool spring morning in San Diego, muralist Daniel Angeles took a phone call that chilled his soul: His first piece of public art in the city’s Latino-centric Barrio Logan, a large mural called “Birth of the Hummingbird,” was being erased. He clicked on a live video and was horrified that his masterwork was being painted over — the vibrant colors of his mural gradually covered by mundane, muddy browns.

Angeles called the property’s owner, who, years before, had allowed him to paint the building’s street-facing wall and fence. Property owners are supposed to send notice three months before demolition or repainting, giving artists time to remove, document or relocate their murals.

“I was shocked. I couldn’t do anything since I was at a music performance for my oldest daughter,” Angeles said. “She was performing when this youngster FaceTimed me as he was running toward the wall to show me a couple of guys were going over the art with rollers and dark paint. I couldn’t believe that it was going away.”

Angeles, who paints under the name Dentlok, is a celebrated muralist, tattoo artist and long-time resident of the neighborhood. He said he received no warning before his prized mural was erased.

But with the erasure, Angeles became a focal point in a simmering conflict in a neighborhood that Latinos have spent generations transforming from an overlooked, low-income enclave into a vibrant hub for art, food and culture.

The Barrio Logan fight over gentrification and public art became another in a series of similar, complicated struggles in communities around the country.
