Mural Arts and PSU's Center for Black Digital Research/#DigBlk will dedicate a powerful and inspiring mural, Frances E. W. Harper: We Are All Bound Up Together, honoring the life and legacy of Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825–1911), poet, orator, abolitionist, suffragist, and one of the most influential Black women of the 19th century.
As part of PSU's #Harper200, a year-long bicentennial celebration marking 200 years since Harper’s birth, this special event will unveil a new public mural by Philadelphia-based artist Athena Scott, located on the exterior wall of Greene Street Friends School. This vibrant artwork pays tribute to Harper’s lifelong fight for freedom, education, and justice, and reflects the spirit of community that continues to animate her legacy.
