Abolitionist Heroes


This mural is within sight of the one I shared last week showing Civil War officers. Was this painted as a response to the other one? I'd like to know but I don't even know who painted either of them.

This certainly appears to depict Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman. On the side wall we see a woman in profile. My guess is that she is Rebecca Wright of Winchester, Virginia.

I photographed these from the parking lot behind Jim Barb Realty in Berryville.

  5. Excellent portraits of two important figures in our history. Don't you love it that Tubman will be on our $20 bill? Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.

  7. Neat historical murals! It would be interesting to know if these were done as a response to the other one.
