Celebrating 30th anniversary of the Olympic freeway murals

After years of abuse from weather and graffiti, the 1984 Summer Olympics murals painted along the 101 and 110 freeways are coming back to life. On Sunday, the artists behind these murals will come together to commemorate the 30th anniversary of their work and fundraise to keep mural history alive.

Joining us with more is Eric Bjorgum, a director of the Mural Conservancy of Los Angeles, which has been working to restore the murals.
