It is located at the southeast corner of 2nd Street and Broadway in the Historic Core section of Downtown Los Angeles.

The station's glass entry pavilion is wrapped in Andrea Bowers' The People United (“El pueblo unido jamás será vencido,” Sergio Ortega and Quilapayun; “Brown Beret 13 Point Political Program,” La Causa) which features text artwork of revolutionary slogans such as “El pueblo unido jamás será vencido” (the people united will never be divided) and “By independence we mean the right to self-determination, self-government and freedom.” According to Metro Art, "the first text is often heard chanted at marches and political demonstrations around the world".

It originated in Chile between 1969 and 1973 in support of Salvador Allende’s presidential election and evolved into an anthem composed by Sergio Ortega for the Chilean Popular Unity coalition.

The second is taken from a mission statement of the Brown Berets, a Chicano civil rights group founded in East Los Angeles and active during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
