La Clinica de la Raza mural is a mural in the Fruitvale district on the corner of Fruitvale Ave and East 16th St. located on the wall of the Dental Clinic of La Clinica de la Raza.
The mural was done in 1977 by the late artist Raymundo (Zalas) Nevel. The original mural depicted scenes of the Chicano movement of the era and of the indigenous ancestors. During the late 90's, Zalas Nevel's daughter, Xochitl Nevel Guerrero was asked to make a new mural as the original mural faded over the years. The new mural was made and is still there!
