Freedom Wall
How amazing is this Mural. This is just one of many paintings on the "Freedom Wall" in Buffalo NY. The wall showcases National as well as Local activists who have been instrumental in change and advancement in the African American community. Some of the most phenomenal leaders are immortalized on this wall, from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to Shirley Chisholm to W.E.B Dubois as well as many others. The wall was completed by several local artists who have forever left their mark on this beautiful city. I had the pleasure of meeting one of the phenomenal Artist, the humility of this amazing person left me speechless. As I rode pass one day as they were working tirelessly on this Mural, it began to rain so I thought to myself he's gonna stop...  but he didn't, he kept right on painting. This not only showed his perseverance but also his passion, not only for his work but for the meaning behind what he was working on. Now, in its completed state it is absolutely awesome. The "Freedom Wall" is a must see and must visit vision of beauty. If you're ever in Buffalo NY, stop by the wall and take a picture, the image will be everlasting.
