Title
Black Seeds, Los Angeles 1991
Description
Black Seeds, 1991, exterior of MCI Printing, 2301 West Jefferson Boulevard (at 3rd Avenue). The mural's central focus is a tree of life. A close examination reveals that painted into the flesh of both the trunk and branches are writing and struggling human bodies. From each limb sprout the proud faces of important African Americans. In acrylic by David Mosley, Eddie Orr, Norman Maxwell, Michael McKenzie and Marvin Hunt with assistance from students from Holy name of Jesus School, 36th Street Elementary School and Dorsey High School. Sponsored by Social and Public Art Resource Center -- Dunitz, Street gallery, rev. 2nd ed., p. 218, #45.
