 Drivers on a Philip Randolph Boulevard on Jacksonville's east side may notice some new murals popping up. The local organization behind them says they're meant to be more than just pretty pictures and there are more of them to come. The side of the man cave barbershop is covered in a geometric design of vivid colors with seven faces painted over it. Okay so this is the locals and legends mural executive director of the Jacksonville cultural development corporation Suzanne Pickett says this is one of her non-profits murals. The people on it are important to the east side. A. L. Lewis the president of the African-American insurance company and he also started American Beach. A vacation spot for African-Americans during segregation. The faces also include James Weldon Johnson and author Zora Neale Hurston who lived in Jacksonville. Down the street there's another mural in progress and Pickett says the community gets to paint portions of the art. The community buy-in is very important when you're looking at true change. She says there's a perception of this area which sits between the sports entertainment district Springfield and downtown as being vacant and crime-ridden. The ultimate goal is to create murals enough murals to have a mural tour a historic tour because there's rich history on the east side and then you create tourism by which you bring development into the neighborhood.
