Famous Warrior

Famous Warrior by artist Shawn Theodore is a tribute to Judge A. Leon Higginbotham. Overlooking Chestnut Street from the Mercy LIFE West Philadelphia building at 4508 Chestnut Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the mural is a compelling visual narrative that weaves different moments from Higginbotham’s life together around his juristic portrait. Rich hues of blue and gold were chosen to catch the sun on the building’s north facing facade. The mural stands as a reminder of Higginbotham’s singular voice of moral leadership.
