Mike Alewitz, the most prolific labor muralist in America, will be at the Southern California Library for Social Studies and Research (SCL) on July 19, at 2 P.M., to sign copies of his new book "Insurgent Images: The Agitprop Murals of Mike Alewitz," by Paul Buhle with Mike Alewitz, foreword by Martin Sheen. Alewitz will talk about art and politics, based on his decades of activism in the peace and social justice movements. SCL is located at 6120 S.
