Have you driven past our newest mural in Scottdale, GA?

Many people wonder about the significance of the figures, the most prominent being local matriarch and legacy–Tobie Kendall Grant. Tobie Grant was a renowned African American community leader, businesswoman, spiritual advisor, and philanthropist in Scottdale. Her legacy is best seen through the land she donated and the institutions she helped establish for Black families in Scottdale. In 1960, Grant donated approximately 40 acres of land specifically for community use: a recreation center, park space, and public library for local children and families. These amenities were especially important at a time when public resources for Black neighborhoods were far more limited. The area and many facilities continue to carry her name–including the Tobie Grant Recreational Center, the site of our mural unveiling and many other community gatherings. Alongside prominent historical figures, @ncarlosj’s mural depicts multiple generations of Scottdale, including children as the bright future of the community. 📍E Ponce de Leon & N Decatur Rd production team: @ncarlosj @angela_bortone @zaldepaints @kashreward @chuga.headaches �🎥 @portraitsbyisadora 💙
