A powerful new mural was unveiled this week at NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln in the #Bronx documenting the #younglords historic takeover of Lincoln Hospital in 1970.

The mural, Legacy, was developed by artist @dister Rondon through a series of focus groups with community members, staff and patients and brought to life at a paint party where the community was invited to paint the mural together. Legacy is part of the Community Mural Project run by the health system’s Arts in Medicine department.

Legacy is one of nine new murals that have been created in the past year, building on the 26 murals created in the first wave of the Community Mural Project, which are featured in a new book, Healing Walls: New York City Health + Hospitals Community Mural Project 2019-2021
This program is made possible through the generous support of the @lmtischfund.

Legacy documents the Young Lords’ takeover of Lincoln Hospital in 1970 as a pivotal moment in the fight for improved healthcare and patient advocacy.

In the mural, holding a megaphone is @felipejluciano, a key figure in the Young Lords movement, along with Iris Morales and Denise Oliver-Velez, raising their fists and embodying the spirit of activism and resilience as they unite in the fight for social justice and equality.
On the right side of the mural, a tender depiction of a woman cradling her baby adds depth to the narrative. #nychealthsystem #nycmurals #artsinmedicine #bronxmurals #artheals

We are so grateful for the generous funding of the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Funds’s Arts in Health initiative, which support organizations that use the arts to address health issues with a particular focus on mental health stigma, trauma, and age-related disease. We are proud to be a grantee of this amazing organization.
