Pictured is a mural on the now closed historic Forest Avenue Hospital on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in South Dallas, Texas. The facility was one of six African American owned hospitals in Dallas. It opened in 1964 and has been closed since 1984. The mural was painted in 1978 as part of of a federal manpower training program for low income teens. It is said to have the faces of co-founders of the hospital surgeon Edward J. Mason, Dr. Emmet Conrad, anesthesiologist Dr. Judge E. Page, and the Reverend Jesse L. Lott.
