A mural designed by local artist Ben Blount and inspired by the City of Evanston's 2019 Resolution to End Structural Racism and Achieve Racial Equity will be dedicated at 1:30 p.m. on January 17. Mr. Blount will speak at the dedication along with Mayor Daniel Biss and Council Member Cicely Fleming, and a ribbon will be cut to symbolically open the mural for business. The mural was commissioned by the Main-Dempster Mile and installed in partnership with the Evanston Mural Arts Program, a program of Art Encounter.
