Exterior wall mural. 6' x 150' ft. Located in Greenstone Park at 245 Pemberton Terrace in Kamloops, BC. Painted with Doug Cariou of Cyrus Art for the City of Kamloops, BC, in conjunction with the Graffiti Task Force. Depicts local resident Lesra Martin leaning against a tree on the left side and an eagle flying above desert mountains in the center. Lesra Martin is holding a book, representing his efforts to help reduce illiteracy worldwide. He is an international motivational speaker and a lawyer who was portrayed by Vicellous Shannon in the movie The Hurricane, also starring Denzel Washington. The film tells the story about how Lesra was instrumental in helping the falsely imprisoned boxer Rubin ‘Hurricane’ Carter get released from prison. The mural was also briefly featured in the National Film Board of Canada documentary, The Journey of Lesra Martin.
