The ABCL Banner Project

In 2020, I had the great honor and privilege of being selected to create 34 portraits, for banners that were placed in downtown Lexington, Massachusetts, during Black History month. The honorees were selected because of their historical significance and connection to Lexington.

The project took several months to complete and was featured on local television and newspapers. It also inspired other, similar projects, with the goal of spotlighting historical figures in other communities.

See all of the banners on the ABCL.
