Description of the murals and their history The history of the Spafford murals and another set by Alden Mason removed from the capitol in 1987, is documented in From Capitol to Campus: The Alden Mason and Michael Spafford Murals. They were put on display on October, 2003 following a symposium on "the legal, ethical and emotional issues" surrounding their history. The murals were eventually acquired by Centralia College in 2002 following a decade of negotiations with the artist, and installed in the college's Corbet Theatre.

The dispute between the state legislature and the artist, becoming a lawsuit for breach of contract against the state, gained note in art and legal journals, and law reference books the Columbia Law School's Journal of Law & the Arts called it "striking example of suppression of artistic freedom". The murals were separated from the House chamber walls in 1993 and put in storage. The murals were covered by the state government a few weeks after their initial installation by plywood sheets behind a curtain pending their removal after a 1982 House vote, when some lawmakers objected to their content, perceived by some as sexually suggestive.
