Faces of Dudley:
This mural was made by artist, mike womble during the summer of 1959. This is the only mural out of three murals that are still up today in Dudley Square. It was created in order to give the community a sense of identity and ability to be connected to this piece of art. The mural is much bigger than this and also includes portraits of Malcolm X, who lived in Roxbury. Another person portrayed in the mural was Elma Lewis.
