The Crespinel Mural, Seattle

During the summer of 1995, artist James Crespinel painted a seventeen foot tall mural of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on the side of the Catfish Corner restaurant at the corner of Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and Cherry Street in the Central District.

Crespinel worked as a volunteer on the project, which was initiated by AmeriCorps volunteers working through the Seattle Police Department.
