Intended to honor the importance of generations, family and culture in the African
American community, this mural was designed and painted with help from the
Turtle Hill Neighborhood. The left side of the mural emphasizes the cultural legacy
of African art, dress, architecture and textile patterns. The right side of the mural
mirrors the African skyline with an urban American skyline, and features portraits
of people who have left a significant legacy in American society, many with
connections to Kansas City. The middle section features the seven principles of
Kwanzaa and shows the hope of children and the future.
