In the center panel, young children are watering the city, representing hope for the future.

Birth of Heroes: A Mandala for Harmony (Below)
Ivan Watkins
Digital transfer on tile
2004, Arts in Transit
Inspired by the Mandala, a precise yet universal symbol of unity, harmony and the cyclical nature of life, this mural incorporates not only aspects of spirituality but also the reflection of great African American contributors of the past and present. Also incorporated in this digitally transferred mural is imagery of the Lawndale neighborhood. A lasting concept of this mural is to evoke education.
