"The person who controls the narrative controls the history and controls the outcome." - @sirjameslthornhill. In this mini Sonic Culture clip, we spoke with Sir James Thornhill to learn more about how his art motivates, educates and inspires the community. #art #richmond #virginia #culture #history #vpm #myvpm

Amazing work! I would love to see a project like this in my city as well. We have so many talented, history-making individuals who deserve greater recognition and visibility to preserve their impact on the community. My grandfather co-founded the Ebony Lifeline Support Group here in Youngstown, Ohio, which is a self-help organization for minorities. The group created a sports exhibit currently housed at the Mahoning Valley Historical Society, featuring photographs and trophies from local athletes. New inductees are honored annually at the Ebony Lifeline Hall of Fame banquet. I believe murals would be a wonderful complement to the existing efforts, helping to keep these remarkable achievers visible in the hearts and minds of community members. I am deeply inspired by your work, Sir James. Salute!
