Hopefully, the neighborhood mural project is a public reminder for people who view it: you don’t have to be a figure on the national stage to make a difference. Don’t we all have an important role to play in our families, churches, organizations, and communities?

The Wall of Honor pictorial book is the first in a series. It recognizes some everyday heroes and shares basic background historical information.

Writing the second book is already in progress. It includes specific stories about people depicted on the Wall. However, the Wall can never hold the portraits or names of all Fayetteville and Cumberland County citizens considered everyday heroes.

You can help.

We are calling on seniors, family members, neighbors, and amateur historians who remember people who fought to improve conditions in their communities. Do you know folks who nurtured children or adults? Do you know folk who stood up for their rights and the rights of others? Do you think these people should be recognized? If so, you have an important role to play in this community project.
