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.
