Join Mural Arts Program Executive Director Jane Golden and Art Sanctuary Executive Director Lorene Cary to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Albert M. Greenfield African American Iconic Images Collection with a dynamic new exhibition reflecting on this extraordinary Collection.

Curated by artist and instructor Richard Watson, this exhibition pays homage to the murals that commemorate the depth and breadth of the African American experience in Philadelphia.

Special guest, critically acclaimed author Bernice L. McFadden, will read from and sign her latest book, Gathering of Waters. This moving work of historical fiction is centered on the tragic murder of Emmett Till and his enduring love connection with Tass Hilson in 1950s Mississippi, and beyond.

Light refreshments will be served.
