The city is deciding what to do with the original artwork. A new piece chosen through an art contest will replace it.
A mural of Martin Luther King Jr. that had hung over the North New Braunfels Bridge for nearly three decades was pulled down Wednesday morning, and a new art installation is coming soon. District 2 Council Member Jalen McKee-Rodriguez is leading the charge to replace the art piece. McKee-Rodriguez said dozens of community members ask each year about updating the now gray but once colorful mural. On one side, King’s face is depicted with a rainbow and dove.
Renovations are on the way to East Side’s Healy Murphy Park Dwayne Robinson, MLK Commission chair, said the mural was officially unveiled in 1997 after the city’s annual MLK Day march. The commission plans the local march each year. “It’s symbolic of hope,” Robinson said of the piece. The incoming mural isn’t the only art project McKee-Rodriguez has been working on. He is collaborating with San Antonio Street Art Initiative to revamp Healy Murphy Park.
