A new community mural pays tribute to a man who dedicated his life to serving Nevada and his country. It’s on display now in the Historic Westside.
A pair of local artists are the masterminds behind the new mural they’re calling “I Can, I Will.”
It’s painted on the A.D. Guy Knowledge Center near North Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Washington Avenue.
Artists Dyron Boyd and Malachi Williams say the motto of Judge Addeliar Dell Guy inspired their work.
Guy was the first African American district court judge in Nevada, the first African American deputy district attorney in Clark County, and the county’s first African American chief deputy district attorney.
The mural painted in his honor stretches more than 118 feet. It’s 9 feet tall and made up of five different panels with a different sentiment behind each one.
KTNV“The kids would come over and be watching us as we’re painting. They got their handprints on, put their names,” Boyd said of the second panel, which celebrates art and community.
