Mural Depict Crime in PA

Crime has not only become out of control in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, but also a major concern for both residents and authorities as it continues on a drastic incline. Philadelphia Mural Art's Program, however, has taken a unique stand against crime in their city; it has recently begun a project called "Healing Walls" in which victims of crimes unite to depict their survivor stories in the form of murals on the large walls of downtown Philadelphia. In addition, victims also create walls to represent the testaments of offenders.

Victoria Green, a leader of the project, supports the program whole-heartedly and believes the project is something that finally allows the community's voices to be heard in a new and dramatic way.
