| Description | This mural depicts, and is a tribute to, the child martyr Luis Alfonso Velásquez who lived in the neighborhood where the mural exists. The child, with musicians behind him, confronts a three-headed monster representing Somoza's dictatorship. This mural is part of the "Historía de Nicaragua" (History of Nicaragua) mural project in the Santa Maria de los Angeles Church in Barrio Riguero in Managua, Nicaragua. The murals painted in this building were part of a project by Italian muralist Sergio Michilini, who led a team of Italian to train and teach Nicaraguan artists muralism. There were twenty-two Nicaraguan students and four foreign students that helped with the murals in this church. Henry Houser notes, "all of the people present were outspoken critics of imperialist intervention, many were martyred or killed in guerrilla activity. Many are clergy two are Indigenous. A couple are symbols of liberation theology. Also present are Sandino, the FSLN and Fonseca."
