As the month of painting comes to a close it is necessary to acknowledge the community involvement and interactions with this mural. The interactions have taken place while we've been painting, people asking if they can bring their kids to help, or just thanking us in general for beautifying their walkway. Then one evening, I had been at a meeting in the library, and decide to sit across from the wall for a while. My goodness, what traffic and engagement took place! There were people walking home after work, the bus ran by a few times, and some girls coming from downtown stopped and took pictures with the wall!
This mural is so much more than just some paint on a wall, it is a story, it is an amalgamation of many of Greensboro's voices. If the wall can help build bridges and incite thought, then we have done the right thing.
Let us keep up the good work, for a brighter future!
