LONG-LOST MURAL FOUND DURING A GEORGIA REVITALIZATION PROJECT

A long-lost mural that could date as far back as the 1930s was discovered in a Georgia building that a revitalization group was working on. DREAM Streets Sparta revealed in a Facebook post that work was being done on a narrow building on Broad Street in Sparta that was built in 1909 when the mural was found. The building has been a barber shop owned by three generations of the same Black family until it closed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. DREAM Streets Sparta said they have three possible artists who may have been behind the mural and two are still alive
