About This Piece

Jonathan Pucci created the first summer 2019 UAF mural on Cherry Creek Trail between Market and Blake streets. His artwork features an image of African American cyclist, Marshall “Major” Taylor. Taylor is known for breaking the color barrier in 1896 by winning the half mile sprint and placing eighth in a six-day continuous race at age 18, and later setting seven world records and winning a World Championship in cycling.
