In 2008, Andrew reimagined Edward Laning's 1938 work, "The Role of the Immigrant in the Industrial Development of America," a WPA initiative. Now known as "The Forgotten Mural" and previously "The Lost Mural of Ellis Island," Andrew's traveling exhibition pays tribute to our ancestors. The original mural was unseen by the public, located in the immigrant cafeteria. Students at Agassi Prep in Las Vegas participated in paintingthe recreation.  The mural consists of 19 canvas panels, measuring a total of 88 ft in length & heights ranging from 1 1/2 to 4 ft, designed to fit various wall dimensions. More information is provided on the next two pages,   'Famous Immigrants' and 'Additional Items in Exhibit.'
