Mural by Ras Malik (title unknown), 402 North 55th Street

This untitled mural by artist Ras Malik is located in the West Philadelphia neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The mural features a Black family in an idyllic landscape of the American west. The mother sits among a field of yellow flowers while the father help his daughter ride a horse. In the distance, a figure is visible at the rim of the canyon.

A view far from typical in the concrete and brick neighborhoods of Philadelphia, this mural transports the viewer to the American West where a mountain sometimes begins in your backyard.

Location Note: While portions of the mural are still visible, the majority of the scene has been lost to wall surface deterioration and weed overgrowth over time.
