This is a mural at Hahnemann University Hospital. It seems to me this mural portrays the different kinds of patients that come to the hospital or that study there. It is to show that all are accepted and will be helped no matter who you are. It portrays the different stories and lives that all of the patients there have.

Este mural muestra sin educación que no habría un futuro mejor. También, que necesita educación para tener éxito en la vida. Esto demuestra que Malcolm X está de pie para la educación.Este mural se encuentra en 128 N. Broad Street.

This mural is not located in my neighborhood, but it is located around the same place one of my family members live. "Aspire: No Limits" is a mural created by Ernel Martinez of Dr. Shawn White, who was also called "Air Smooth". This man was a community leader, and HIV/AIDS activist. He grew up in South Philadelphia, and got his Ph.D. and started studying HIV in African American males. He then became an awareness speaker of the topic, and in 2009 he became the co-chair of the University of Pennsylvania's research on HIV prevention.

Este mural aquí es de 22 y Catherine, así que no es necesariamente la vuelta de la esquina, pero está todavía en el sur de Filadelfia. Representa Bernie Sanders, un hombre que fue para arriba como candidato presidencial antes de que él terminó encima de caer hacia fuera. Sus ideas para el país eran un poco irreales, pero eran ideas que muchos americanos hubiera gustado ver a tomar lugar.

Estas cuatro personas son muy importantes debido al papel que habían desempeñado en el Civil Rights Movement. Son inspiradoras que nunca había dado encima de lo que creían.Individualmente cada uno de ellos hizo heredero propios logros que son verdaderamente increíbles. Para ejemplo, Frederick Douglas había sido el primer afroamericano en una posición de alto gobierno.

​This is the location I chose in chestnut street due to how it is a very visible location where it is a very busy road. So anything that I paint will be seen and capture the attention of the audience immediately whether it be while they are driving or walking. The location is a central location so there are multiple people around to see the work. So this is why I would put my mural here. The mural would be something meaningful to the community to remind them we are a whole.

Aqui y Alla

Hecho por el artista Michelle Angela Ortiz. La importancia de este mural es mostrar el impacto de la inmigración en las vidas de los jovenes immigrantes mexicanos en South Filadelphia. Aqui y Alla, que se traduce en "aqui y alla" se refiere a los jovenes de Filadelfia y Mexico. Hay muchos mas murales en Filadelfia con la importancia de la inmigración que es el mensaje.
