Students from Inderkum High School recently painted the “Authors of Our Own Destiny” interactive sculpture in recognition of Black History Month.
The vibrant mural now features a larger-than-life portrait of Amanda Gorman, the first-ever National Youth Poet Laureate. Students also incorporated the words “If we merge mercy with might, and might with right then love becomes our legacy” from her inaugural poem “The Hills We Climb.”
Students from the Inderkum Black Student Union and Inderkum Street Club collaborated on the mural project led by Adiyah Oboleu, president of the school’s Black Student Union, and portrait painter, Ema Heinkel, a Street Club member.
“Authors of Our Own Destiny” is located on Del Paso Road adjacent to the American River College satellite campus and North Natomas Library. This interactive public art installation can be painted on by anyone, at anytime, no reservations or approval required before hand. Check out more previous paintings here.
