What is the origin of Ypsilanti's H P. Jacobs mural? How has it affected students? At EMU's "Ecojustice & Activism" conference, a panel of YCHS students, YCHS art teacher Lynne Settles, Ypsilanti historian Matt Siegfried, and Jackson artist Douglas Jones discuss their roles in the project. Please consider donating on the mural's GoFundMe page: https://www.gofundme.com/gmfapnyc. All donations are gratefully received!
