Three Leaders
Visual artist Chris Windfield (Drawn Up Films, LLC) captured some of the civil rights legacy of Jackson with a colorful display of three prominent figures that propelled the movement in Mississippi’s capital city. The mural featured portraits of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Medgar Wiley Evers, and Rev. R.L.T. Smith, who is known as the architect and foot soldier in the Georgetown community – he worked tirelessly, often behind the scenes, to lay the groundwork at the street level, facilitating the outward work of prominent figures who led marches, boycotts, and organized protests locally. - Brenda Willis
