The Mustard Seed

The Mustard Seed by artist John Lewis is located in the Grays Ferry neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

This mural depicts several community leaders, including religious leaders and council people. This mural is a symbol of the importance of having leaders who care, share, and extend themselves to come to the aid of their communities. They share their leadership, faith, courage, and knowledge with the people who need them. The community hopes that this mural will serve as a reminder of how these individuals reach out and enrich the lives of others.
