Norwich Jubilee Project — Mural & Park
Tax deductible
Jubilee Park launches this summer with a landmark mural that will serve as a vital start to a wider transformation downtown.

James Lindsey Smith & Sarah Harris Fayerweather, black history icons who defied great odds to become leaders in our community, will be honored in the mural.
And we are honoring Smith by tracing the steps he took by land and water to escape slavery through Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and Philadelphia in 1838.
The journey will be featured in a documentary accessed by a permanent QR code marker at the proposed park site, where a blighted courtyard will become beautiful community-building space for free art, music and other healthy outdoor activities.
From broken to beautiful — Jubilee Park is a powerful, symbolic message of restoration and resilience.
Several non-profit, civic, and government organizations are uniting together to create a special place that will welcome visitors to the city center for generations to come, create stronger social ties and develop neighborhood stability.
We have sponsors and private contributors who have gotten us started toward the $35,000 mural. But we will need to raise money from GoFundMe to get us to the finish line with this and related project costs, such as film production. Thank you in advance for your support!
