Stay Golden Mural 2020

The Stay Golden mural was organized and designed by Gerald Brown, Roberto Lugo, and Isaac Scott. The purpose of the mural is to activate the community in Strawberry Mansion, reflect on the radical energy in the city and around the country, and commemorate the powerful spirit of Black and Brown people. The words “Stay Golden” is reflective of a common usage of the color gold in African Diasporic communities. It is a unifying color among Black and Brown people and it speaks to the resilience of our people through adversity. The Stay Golden mural is located at 33rd and Diamond St in Philadelphia, PA.
