This black and white mural on Cleo’s Bodega features five portraits of local leaders connected to Flanner House, a non-profit serving the local Black community since 1903. On the far left, Frances Malone was the Director of Education at Flanner House for 42 years. On the left middle side, Frank W. Flanner is the namesake for Flanner House after he donated two buildings to create a Black community service center. In the center, Booker T. Washington is pictured because his accommodationist philosophy shaped Flanner House. On the right middle side, Cleo Blackburn developed Flanner House to further focus on education and job training for young people. On the far right, Albert Moore was the Agriculture Director at Flanner House and taught urban farming.
