Mary Mitchell Wall
Today a little boy said to me: My name is Knowledge and I am going to the second grade.
When he said this to me, I remembered the graffiti on the wall at the Mary Mitchell Center.
My favorite one is this one. He wrote ‘KNOW’ short for Knowledge.

The Walls at Mary Mitchell
Last month a few graffiti artist came to the Mary Mitchell Center to redo the walls.
As always the children were excited to meet them. This artist is from Germany. He told me the children at the center/ New York are better behaved than the kids in Germany. He said in Germany when children see you painting the walls they pick up your spray cans and mess up your art….maybe the kids in the Bronx appreciate the work a little more??
Boone Ave
The inner city Lady Painter
Among men of the world
Among spray cans
She climbs her ladder
Among vibrant colors
Among tag-ups
She continues to climb
She take one rung at a time
Her paint brush is ready
Paint in one hand
Bush in other
She creates a Woman raising above
Among men art
Among men at art
Is the inner city lady painter
The inner city vibrant women
Un-finished
Undone
The community has yet to see
What kind of woman the shape will form
But the inner city Lady Painter knows
It’s time to celebrate the inner city women
