Crack Is Wack
About this Tour Stop...
Continue east toward the Triborough Bridge. On 127th Street in a park by the River is Keith Haring's Crack is Wack. Originally painted in 1986, the mural was restored in 2007. It was inspired by Haring's horror at the ravages of the crack epidemic in the neighborhood in the 80's. Crack is Wack is supposed to be a warning message about the dangers of drug and drug addition.
