William Walker, the artist who conceived Chicago’s first community mural, The Wall of Respect, painted “All of Mankind, Unity of the Human Race”, in 1972. It was located on Evergreen and Clybourn, just blocks from our studio. The mural depicts the interrelated cultures of the world and calls on all people to honor each other’s differences while decrying the worldwide loss of leaders to assassination and the suffering caused by atrocities and violence. Tragically, the mural was whitewashed in 2015.
