DOROTHY BOLDEN, A Vine City Legend
884 Murphy Ave, Atlanta, GA
One of my first murals ever, created after I learned the fascinating life of civil rights hero Hosea Williams. Known for his outspoken personality, chemist, purple heart recipient and general of the Poor People’s Campaign, Hosea was a leader and organizer for Martin Luther King Jr. during and after his death. He later started the Hosea Feed The Hungry And Homeless, which still runs to this day. Here he is captured floating in the cosmos still pointing to the hieroglyphics which reads “Feed The Hungry”.

ltermiece Thompson-Gates used to wonder just how many Dorothy Boldens there were.
Her mother was everywhere, doing a million things, it seemed, at once.
She fought for protections and fair pay for Black domestic workers. She encouraged people to vote and joined the fight for racial equality. When women who were formerly incarcerated needed work, she helped them find jobs.
“I was in awe to see just how she moved. You would think it was more than one Dorothy Bolden,” said Thompson-Gates, a retired Stone Mountain resident. “I’ll never forget, Mom would be busy working these long hours and then you would look up and all of a sudden see her at your classroom door.”
