The Watts Tower project

"The Watts Towers are a steel and mortar monument to one man's spirit, ingenuity and determination in South Central Los Angeles. Smith was inspired by the towers, which were built over a period of 33 years by Simon Rodia, an Italian immigrant, whose singular vision has held steadfast over earthquakes, riots, and civic indifference"--Container.
