John Lewis and Delia King, The Leidy School Mural, Belmont and Leidy Avenues (Black Neighborhood), Philadelphia, 2004.jpg

Leidy School Mural

John Lewis and Delia King’s Leidy School Mural is in West Phildelphia. Painted in 2004, the mural fuses history with contemporary scenes of children playing. The young African American children to the right-hand side of the mural are positioned inwards, absorbing the history of their city. The antislavery leader, Frederick Douglass, looks out to the viewer.
