Red Carpet for Research Gala
The Children's Tumor Foundation held a true "red carpet" event to support their research efforts. Held at Chenal Country Club, the evening included live music, an auction and a fashion show by local designer Jamileh Kamran and her students.
When the idea first emerged to wrap a concrete building on M.L. King Boulevard with a mural, Chattanooga City Councilman Moses Freeman jumped to support the massive public art project.
After all, the building was located in his district and in the heart of the M.L.K. community. He served as a key resource to mural project staff, offering insights into the history, businesses and personalities important to the street.
What he didn’t expect was to be included in the mural itself. Freeman recently talked about his involvement with the project and the significance of the mural.
Q: You are depicted in a mural panel that “bridges the future with the past, rejoicing over remembrance, growth and freedom.” How did you find out you were included?
