Controversial Mural Accomplishes Goal

A Mural depicting Memphis' rich culture was unveiled outside of Autozone Park. All the images on the 5-story Rhodes-Hill Mural are based on pictures of real Memphians including Ms. Savannah Simmons. She is the downtown resident whose image sparked controversy over the mural for her gold tooth. One of the painters says the project was designed to get people talking. The mural is a joint venture between Rhodes and Chicago Artist, Jeff Zimmerman.
