<p>The new mural under the CTA Red Line viaduct at Cermak Road and South Clark Street is the first of three to encourage residents to walk between the vibrant and unique communities of Bronzeville, Chinatown and Pilsen.</p><p>The three communities of color are separated both by social and physical boundaries, say Consuela Hendricks and Angela X Lin, co-presidents and co-founders of People Matter, a nonprofit whose goal is to end racism in three to five generations.</p><p>By improving the viaducts, which often serve as geographical neighborhood boundaries, they hope to encourage residents of Bronzeville, a historically Black neighborhood; Chinatown, a historically Asian neighborhood; and Pilsen, a historically Latino neighborhood, to explore each other's communities.</p><p>“We can walk into each other’s communities and learn,” Hendricks says.</p><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center> <div class="Enhancement-item" data-crop=""> <figure class="Figure"><a class="AnchorLink" id="image-af0000" name="image-af0000"></a> <picture data-crop="medium"> <source type="image/webp" width="490" height="275" data-srcset="https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/a3c3bee/2147483647/strip/true/crop/8192x4598+0+433/resize/490x275!/format/webp/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2Fb9%2F60%2F0f21b7424514a124786036b0ab91%2Fmurals-bronzeville-2609130060.jpg 1x,https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/6d5f0cb/2147483647/strip/true/crop/8192x4598+0+433/resize/980x550!/format/webp/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2Fb9%2F60%2F0f21b7424514a124786036b0ab91%2Fmurals-bronzeville-2609130060.jpg 2x" data-lazy-load="true" srcset="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIyNzVweCIgd2lkdGg9IjQ5MHB4Ij48L3N2Zz4=" /> <source width="490" height="275" data-srcset="https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/7145274/2147483647/strip/true/crop/8192x4598+0+433/resize/490x275!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2Fb9%2F60%2F0f21b7424514a124786036b0ab91%2Fmurals-bronzeville-2609130060.jpg" data-lazy-load="true" srcset="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIyNzVweCIgd2lkdGg9IjQ5MHB4Ij48L3N2Zz4=" /> <img class="Image" alt="Artists Consuela Hendricks and Angela Lin stand in front of their mural on West Cermak Road at South Clark Street." srcset="https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/7145274/2147483647/strip/true/crop/8192x4598+0+433/resize/490x275!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2Fb9%2F60%2F0f21b7424514a124786036b0ab91%2Fmurals-bronzeville-2609130060.jpg 1x,https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/809e045/2147483647/strip/true/crop/8192x4598+0+433/resize/980x550!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2Fb9%2F60%2F0f21b7424514a124786036b0ab91%2Fmurals-bronzeville-2609130060.jpg 2x" width="490" height="275" data-src="https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/7145274/2147483647/strip/true/crop/8192x4598+0+433/resize/490x275!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2Fb9%2F60%2F0f21b7424514a124786036b0ab91%2Fmurals-bronzeville-2609130060.jpg" data-lazy-load="true" src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIyNzVweCIgd2lkdGg9IjQ5MHB4Ij48L3N2Zz4=" > </picture> <div class="Figure-content"><figcaption class="Figure-caption"><p>Artists Consuela Hendricks and Angela Lin stand in front of their mural on West Cermak Road at South Clark Street.</p></figcaption><span class="line"></span><div class="Figure-credit"><p>Manuel Martinez/WBEZ</p></div></div> </figure> </div> </div><p>Hendricks and Lin are passionate about improving race relations between Black, Asian and Latino communities. The mural project, titled Breaking Community Bubbles, aims to do just that.</p><p>The first mural was completed this summer on the Cermak Road border of Bronzeville and Chinatown on the south wall of the viaduct. It features a Black woman’s face that, on one half, is overlaid with flowers and sparkles and seems to disappear into the purple background.
