Top: The new mural is a visual tribute to YWCA Greater Atlanta’s 123-year-old history of service, advocacy and empowerment.  From its founding on the campus at Spelman College to the restoration of the Phillis Wheatley building, the mural honors more than a century of women who have shaped the association’s history and Atlanta’s civic life.  It includes historic and contemporary women – like Roslyn Carter, Coretta Scott King and leaders like Sarah Irvin who carry the torch forward.  Sarah is the immediate past president of YWCA Greater Atlanta’s Board of Directors and is Chair of the Phillis Wheatley Westside YWCA campaign.
