Events in the Life of Harold Washington (original) (raw)
Events in the Life of Harold Washington is a mural at Chicago's central library, the Harold Washington Library, named after Harold Washington, who was Chicago's first Black mayor. The mural, painted by Jacob Lawrence, was commissioned in 1991. As much as the mural's message may seem self-explanatory, depicting the various accomplishments of the late Washington, this mural does not exist as only a commemoration of his life. In an effort to evoke inspiration and empower progressive recollection, Jacob Lawrence's mural, Events in the Life of Harold Washington, highlights and patronizes the African diasporic population's victory against the white power structure of Twentieth Century Chicago while embodying the artist's lifelong examination of the meaning of Black progress and struggle.
