Community Empowerment Mural

"Everyone in the community has a voice. If we put our voices together we will be heard. Words have more power than you think. They give influence and lead others to action." ~ Anquiette, North Division High School This 8'x12' mural was completed in 2008 with the vision and planning of youth from North Division High school's after-school Community Learning Center. It was made possible by support from the Reality Check Coalition, aimed at reducing drug and alcohol abuse. The mural talks about using the creative arts and education to stay off the street, based on lived experiences the group shared. It currently is installed on the west-facing wall of Magic Foods liquor store on 16th nd Locust, Milwaukee, WI.
