The Colored Conventions Project and Mural Arts Philadelphia are excited to present the \u201cThe Colored Conventions Movement and Beyond in Philadelphia\u201d by artist Ernel Martinez and its accompanying exhibit by Sam de Vera. Senior Colored Conventions Project committee chairs Brandi Locke and Denise Burgher stewarded this relationship from inception through completion with Director Gabrielle Foreman, advising in collaboration with Mural Arts executive director Jane Golden and project manager Phil Asbury. This project is sponsored by the Mellon Foundation and the Penn State Center at Philadelphia. This exhibit complements the two murals by highlighting stories of resilience and activism of both the contemporary and historical Black community in Philadelphia.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/oldsite.coloredconventions.org\/mural-arts\/introduction\/” button_text=”Explore” button_alignment=”center” admin_label=”Explore Button” _builder_version=”4.19.0″ custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#e6ebf0″ button_bg_color=”#70073e” button_border_width=”0″ button_font=”|700|||||||” button_use_icon=”off” background_layout=”dark” custom_margin=”30px||30px||true” button_text_color_hover=”#70073e” button_border_radius_hover=”0″ button_bg_color_hover=”#f7f9fa” global_colors_info=”{}” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_text_color__hover=”#70073e” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”on” button_border_radius__hover=”0″ button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_bg_color__hover=”#f7f9fa” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px” top_divider_color=”#561520″ top_divider_arrangement=”above_content” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”21px|0px|6px|0px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Credits” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” text_text_color=”#000509″ text_font_size=”14px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Curator: <\/b>Samantha de Vera, Morgan Robinson, Denise P.
