Bicentennial Memory, Forgotten Mural
Originally uploaded by rchrdcnnnghm
During the 1976 Bicentennial , Middletown had recently finished a period of urban renewal. A few of the locations of demolished buildings became pocket parks. These parks weer decorated with murals celebrating the bicentennial, the four freedoms etc. Now these murals have all vanished and been painted over except for this one. If I remember my thirteenth summer, this celebrated both freedom of Religion and the diversity of people. I think I remember various religious symbols on the left and the people on the right were of various races and ethnicity. It slowly weathers away. Taken with the phone
