Cultivating the Rebirth

This mural at Bruce Monroe Park served as the final project for a group of students who worked with artist Joel Bergner during the summer of 2010. The students were part of the Latin American Youth Center’s Civic Engagement program at nearby Roosevelt High School, where they studied painting and mosaics. The students designed the piece to tell the story of cultivating peace, beautifying the neighborhood, and empowering themselves through education.
