A new mural honoring Jovita Moore has been unveiled at Bellwood Coffee in Grant Park. The mural was created by Atlanta artist Tommy Bronx, who also painted the original version in 2021. The original mural was painted over by the coffee shop's owners prior to its April 25 opening, due to newly installed windows affecting the painting.
This decision led to online backlash, prompting the owners to apologize and vow to recommission the mural. Further details about the new mural and the circumstances surrounding the original's removal are available from the source. The new mural is now on display at Bellwood Coffee in Grant Park.
