Beautify and Unify



Here are some more images of the Northwest Neighborhood or "Sugar Hill" mural.  You can click on any of the images to enlarge them. 

The mural is located in the wash at the intersection of Lester and 4th Avenue. Our hope is that eventually the entire wash will be painted with images depicting neighborhood stories and history. 


This first panel depicts early life in the neighborhood before the wash was paved over, and through the struggle to establish the Northwest Neighborhood Center. 


We see a group of people organized to erase the redline that existed on Grant road. The group is near the annual gathering point (4th Ave and Seneca) for the Day After Thanksgiving march and celebration of our past present and future. A rainbow rises over the group to a map of the neighborhood, preparing the stage for the next chapter of neighborhood history.
