Fun Facts

The mural was painted by the artist collective known as the 'Lotus Eaters Club,' which is based in Atlanta.

The mural is strategically located in Atlanta's Sweet Auburn district, an area known for its rich African American history and civil rights significance.

The artists completed the mural in just two weeks, working tirelessly to honor John Lewis's legacy shortly after his passing in 2020.

The John Lewis Hero Mural spans an impressive 65 feet in height, making it a towering tribute to the civil rights leader.

The mural includes the inspiring words, 'Get in good trouble, necessary trouble,' a phrase John Lewis often used to encourage activism.

The artists used a mix of bold colors to symbolize hope, resilience, and the enduring spirit of the civil rights movement.

Since its completion, the mural has served as a backdrop for numerous community events and peaceful protests, reinforcing its role as a symbol of unity.
