Born in 1890, Ben Fletcher was one of the ost influential working-class unionists, revolutionaries, and organizers in all of US history. Mural Arts Philadelphia is collaborating with the Philadelphia General Membership branch of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), Philly Chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), historians and local unions, to create a mural in honor of Fletcher. The new mural is designed by famed painter Jonathan Pinkett and painted by Efrain Herrera. Please join us as we dedicate this new mural and pay tribute to Fletcher's many contributions.
