Windsor Parkway / Osborne Road Crosswalk Mural

 

City of Brookhaven/ Lynwood Park Community (Watch Video)

In the fall of 2023, Turiya partnered with the Lynwood Park Committee and the City of Brookhaven to design a custom crosswalk mural which highlighted the rich history of the oldest Black community in Dekalb county. 

Lynwood Park was established in the early 1900’s and was the first predominantly African American subdivision in DeKalb County. While the demographics of the community changed dramatically, the sense of pride to preserve the rich history of the community remains.

On October 13, 2020, the City of Brookhaven adopted a resolution recognizing the historic importance of the Lynwood Park community and school. This crosswalk serves to further commemorate the unique heritage of the Lynwood Park Community.
