The mural “We will not be satisfied until” on MLK Boulevard in downtown Chattanooga.

One of the largest murals in this country is in downtown Chattanooga.

Artist Meg Saligman painted the piece “We Will Not Be Satisfied Until” on Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard in 2015.

The subjects of the painting are all Chattanoogans - including civil rights leader Moses Freeman, who died earlier this month.

Ian-Alijah Bey with Chattamatters brings us this story about the painting and a few of the faces behind it.
