Community Projects

Located at the historic intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Street and Malcolm X Boulevard, March Towards Recovery is a powerful community mural honoring the past and celebrating healing.

Located at the historic intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Street and Malcolm X Boulevard, the *Juanita Craft Community Mural* honors her legacy as a civil rights icon rooted in South Dallas and the Fair Park area. Sponsored by The Walls Project, the mural was created with community members during a special MLK Day of Service. It stands as a vibrant reminder of her lifelong fight for justice, education, and empowerment.

As part of the Forest Forward initiative, our first South Dallas community mural was created in collaboration with the historic Forest Theater during the MLK Day Parade. This vibrant, collective art piece celebrated unity, culture, and community pride.

During the Fair Park First community event, we teamed up with The Walls Project to host a kid-friendly pop-up mural. Families and children helped paint our “Welcome to South Dallas” banner, turning it into a vibrant display of neighborhood pride and creativity.

In partnership with Preservation Link and sponsored by Bonton Farms, this 3-week program gave high school students hands-on experience in mural arts, visual literacy, and media production. It ended with a community mural at Bonton Farms featuring the phrase “Here We Grow,” celebrating growth and resilience.

Families and kids enjoyed MLK and Malcolm X coloring pages and created vision boards inspired by Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” during our hands-on MLK Day workshop celebrating legacy and hope.
