Seminole Peace Mural
Usually graffiti in the city is ignored or ? at best ? painted over with dull grey paint. But what happens when what's underneath is historically significant?
Atlanta, GA – The Seminole Peace Mural is in the Little Five Points neighborhood of Atlanta and it has fallen victim to the graffiti that covers much of the surrounding buildings and fences. Tagging has virtually obliterated the portraits of Martin Luther King Jr., Albert Einstein, and images of peace, justice, political activism that are woven through mural. You can see a video below of before and after pictures of the mural. Dana Goldman reports on the problems facing a 25-year-old Atlanta mural.
