About the Project 

After racial violence in the Grays Ferry neighborhood made national headlines, Jane Golden and community organizers went door-to-door pitching a mural.  Cynics sneered, but other residents chose this design, then lined up to have their hands photographed.  The diverse, yet converging hands symbolize the community’s commitment to ending racial division.
