The Pursuit of Citizenship, Benjamin Mack, Septima Clark, and Listervelt Middleton
The new mural unveiled in June 2021 and featured in the renovations of Hyatt Park. The piece highlights several African American community leaders who lived in the North Main area.
From the city’s beginning, African Americans have played an integral role in its development. To document and promote this rich legacy, a series of public art installations were commissioned and installed to chronicle the powerful testimony of African American struggle and achievement.
The art installations will be accompanied by wayside interpretive signage that provides historical context. This was a joint initiative sponsored by Columbia Parks and Recreation Foundation, One Columbia, and the Columbia SC 63 initiative.
