"Sugar Hill"
Mural by Tucson Arts Brigade. Sponsored by the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church. The Sugar Hill neighborhood was one of the few places in Tucson where a black professional could buy a home between WWII and the passage of civil-rights legislation in the '60s. Eventually, Sugar Hill was absorbed by the Northwest and El Cortez Heights neighborhoods. A movement has begun to restore the name to the original neighborhood. However, there is a debate whether the name honors the area or denigrates it.
I took these photos on 12/11/2018. Captions list artists' names from left to right.

Update from Jerry Peek (January 29, 2024): I've read (on the Facebook group Tucson Murals and Street Art) that Michael B. Schwartz led this project.
