This storytelling mural includes Cecil B. Moore, community members protesting at Girard College, and the Pearl Theatre where jazz greats like John Coltrane and Blanche Calloway performed.
In the mural, the art deco facade of the long gone theatre contrasts with the forbidding ten-foot stone wall that still encloses the grounds of Girard College, site of the landmark civil rights struggle.
