Bill de Blasio joins unveiling of The New York Foundling’s new mural
The New York Foundling and community residents gathered at the Vital Brookdale supportive housing complex in Brownsville, Brooklyn, for a celebration to unveil a new mural commissioned by the organization. The 1,000-square-foot mural, entitled “Colors of My City,” includes images that honor the history of the Black Panthers, as well as activists, physicians and community members, as well as New York City landmarks like the Brooklyn Bridge, and even the 3 train.
The event included a visit from former Mayor Bill de Blasio, whose son Dante worked as project manager on the mural. The elder de Blasio briefly remarked he was having a “proud papa” moment and then gave his son the floor. Read more here. – Angelique Molina-Mangaroo |
