Legacy

A team of students from the Boys and Girls High School Campus created a mural that reflects the legacy of the campus schools and its many alumnus who excelled in numerous fields, including academia, sports, music, entertainment, politics, activism, science, and literature. The artists wanted a bright and colorful mural that would help unite the schools and create a sense of pride in its history and heritage. In the mural, a torch, symbolizing the school, is being carried by young people of the current student body. The flame of the torch symbolizes the schools legacy, with rays of light beaming from the flame, revealing a selection of notables from the schools alumnus and past faculty, including Shirley Chisholm, Frank Mickens, Connie Hawkins, Lena Horne, Louis Reyes Rivera, Norman Mailer, Max Roach, Tommy Davis, Richard Rose, and Adelaide Sanford.
