To celebrate Black History Month, Mural Arts Philadelphia is offering a special trolley tour that highlights African American figures.
On the tour, attendees will see murals such as "A Celebration of Poetry," which shows the African American poet's journey; "Staircases and Mountaintops: Ascending Beyond the Dream," which depicts Martin Luther King, Jr; and "The Legacy of Bishop Richard Allen and the A.M.E. Church," which pays homage to the activist who founded the African Methodist Episcopal Church.
