DESCRIPTION

This peace mural project was conceived and led by my mother Myrtle Turner during the summer of 1969. It spanned the exterior walls of buildings abutting a parking lot from 15th to 16th street along the west side of 6th Avenue in Manhattan, New York City. This project brought together adults and children, artists and nonartists to paint what they felt when they thought about peace on earth.
