The mural “Mi Gente,” created by Mexican artist, activist, and entrepreneur Yehimi Cambrón, showcases the diverse narratives of “everyday” people within Atlanta’s Latinx community—ranging from prominent leaders to those whose contributions are less recognized. Cambrón addresses themes of education, labor, gender, political advocacy, and activism through these larger portraits and accompanying vignettes. This mural is part of the Neighborhood Initiative at the Atlanta History Center, in collaboration with the Latin American Association, Latino Community Fund, Freedom University, Plaza Fiesta, Northeast Plaza, and NCG Cinemas. A digital guided tour is available to explore the story behind the mural further.
