This I Believe: Essay by Jane Golden
WHYY's This I Believe is a weekly series of radio essays by some of Philadelphia's most influential leaders in politics, the arts, business, civic involvement and even public gardening.
For the past 20 years the presence of large scale murals has changed the city's urban landscape. One artist and community organizer is behind the effort of transforming more that 2,700 walls into murals and that's Jane Golden. This is her story for WHYY's This I Believe series.
