I know that many readers of this blog knew, or knew of, Joaquin Rivera, the beloved musician, counselor and activist who passed away so tragically last year. So, I thought I would pass along this mural, newly painted inside Olney High School as a part of City Year's piece of the MLK Day of service.

City Year (for whom Louie U-A, the sometimes YPP poster, the designer of many of these murals, and tragically, the youngest brother of me and Alex, works) spent MLK Day putting up an amazing amount of murals at local Philly schools, including Olney, Birney and Finletter.

There are some other great ones, too, besides Mr. Rivera- from Rigoberta Menchu, to Jackie Robinson and Rosa Parks. If interested, you can check out the rest of them here.
