This Untitled Mural was created by youth from the Zenith Boys Home working with Inglewood artist Michael Massenburg. Through creative action, the youths worked with adults, institutions and agencies, to create a colorful artwork centered on sports and physical activities, a topic which they chose as a group.
This mural, and others in this series, arose from the Inglewood Youth Plan, adopted in 1999 by the city. The introduction states:
“Inglewood youth have a lot of ideas. They want to be part of making Inglewood a safe, healthy, nurturing place for youth and families.
Inglewood youth want to be more involved in improving the conditions of Inglewood for the present and the future. Inglewood youth want more than token responsibility."
