Together We Stand, Divided We Fall Mural Rededication

Mural Arts will celebrate the restoration of John Lewis’ Together We Stand, Divided We Fall mural with a rededication ceremony. Created in 2000, the mural is a memorial for Chollo Rodriguez and Yamira Vargas, a young couple who were victims of gun violence in the Fairhill neighborhood in the late 1990s. The memorial portraits are centered in a narrative featuring a symbolic sacrificial figure —a soldier who has sacrificed for peace —and other symbols of peace and justice.
