About This Piece
"The Spirit of Togetherness" mural features prominent figures from the national civic rights movement as well as historical figures from Colorado, Denver and the West.
"The people in the painting are displaying the figures from the civil rights movement who fought and died for our rights to be free. The true power in the piece is not only the visual imagery of some of the greatest African Americans to fight for civil rights, but also in the individuals who carry those images. It is also in the hope to re-ignite the fire that is the legacy called freedom that African Americans struggled their entire existence for." – Yvonne Muinde
