Artists Willis Humphrey and Keir Johnston are collaborating on a new mural in South Philadelphia, celebrating early civil rights activist Octavius V. Catto in the neighborhood where he lived. The project will engage students in learning about Catto’s life and activism, alongside members of the Restorative Justice Guild. Join us at the school to unveil the mural design!
