The BSP is leasing the mural from the DeKalb History Center and it’s expected to be displayed at the Pub for a few years, at least. There is no good space in the Old Court House for it to be shown, and it’s great that people can see it again.

The mural was originally in a C & S bank branch located where the Emory Credit Union is now. I always enjoyed looking at it while I was ‘banking’ with my grandmother.
Mills B. Lane of C & S was a major factor in Atlanta’s racial progress in the 1960s when many other cities were facing riots and unrest. He was also instrumental in saving Savannah’s Historic District from destruction and re-development.
Where is the mural headed after its stay at Brick Store?

Don’t feel bad. With that lighting and the plexiglass, nobody could get a decent picture. What a great spot for that mural, though, and I can’t believe how quickly that got put together (less than a month from idea to fruition). It looks terrific up there.
