“The Soul Of MLK” Murals In Chattanooga

“We Will Not Be Satisfied Until” mural on Chattanooga's MLK Boulevard

In the next few months, a community art project in downtown Chattanooga will add murals near Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, once known as Ninth St. - “The Big 9.”

EPB recently launched the project, partnering with area organizations - and with nine local artists, who will paint the murals along the company’s substation fence at 10th and Foster Streets.

The theme:  “The Soul of MLK.”

Elizabeth Hammitt is EPB’s director of residential energy and environmental solutions.

Keelah Jackson-Harris of Keeody Gallery will create one of the murals.

 

Ray is the host and producer of Scenic Roots, Mondays - Thursdays at 3 PM on WUTC.
