"Mrs. Abrana Arechiga (left) and her daughter, Mrs. Vicki Augustain, look at the ruins of one of their Chavez Ravine homes which were destroyed by bulldozers during the controversial eviction last Friday, an action which now has erupted into a sensational city-wide furor. After eviction day the Arechiga family lived in a tent, and, later, in a loaned trailer. Now it is revealed they own 11 homes in the Los Angeles area. Photo date: May 14, 1959."
