Crosswalk Tamra Hunt

Recently, we ran across this crosswalk in the Glenwood neighborhood of Greensboro. It is located on Neal Street at the intersection with Haywood, very near Gate City Boulevard. To help you orient to the location, in the upper right hand corner of the photo you can see the UNCG's Kaplan Recreation Center. The artist is Tamra Hunt, who is a Greensboro based artist and member of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina. This crosswalk is part of Creative Greensboro's Neighborhood Art Program. Hunt has spearheaded performance and visual arts programs in the Glenwood neighborhood, helping people learn about indigenous people in the community. 

If. you are interested, read the City of Greensboro's page (HERE)  where Tamra shares the meaning of each piece of the above artwork. If you drive to Glenwood to see this artwork, also drive by the Lonnie Revels Greenway (see HERE) another place of recognition of a member of the Lumbee Tribe.
