James Reeb Mural, Casper Wyoming
This is the memorial to civil rights activist James Reeb in Casper Wyoming. I should have taken this photograph when this mural was new, as its faded considerably since first painted, and it isn't even very old.
Given that, I'm taking the unusual step of posting it in full size here as well.
James Reeb was a Presbyterian minister in Casper when first ordained. He lost is life when murdered by segregationist in Selma, Alabama, where he was attending civil rights demonstrations, in 1965. The mural depicts scenes from his life, as well as honoring the Civil Rights movement.
