The artist, Astrid Fuller, is my aunt. I remember her working on this. There was a lot of community involvement, too, including work on the flat color areas by local children. I loved the painting of the Chicago Children's Choir, with my cousin in the group. My family appears in Astrid's murals in some places. Astrid is still living in Hyde Park and continues to be interested in civil rights, social justice, and art.Kirin Nielsennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40638721403516978.post-52029108602037685812008-03-04T11:55:00.000-06:002008-03-04T11:55:00.000-06:00thanks susan, andree, jana and r&r--yes i thought ...thanks susan, andree, jana and r&r--yes i thought it was amazing too that its been up since 1973--its been defaced many times and the city cleans up "tags" (graffiti) so a lot of the mural has been whited out...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40638721403516978.post-2159884805823289402008-03-04T01:55:00.000-06:002008-03-04T01:55:00.000-06:00I enjoyed your previous post on this, too!
