1997 "Community U" Mural
This Mural represents a collage of
the hopes, thoughts and goals held by drug-free and safety advocates in Indiana.
It was created by youth at the 1997 Community U conference under the guidance of community
artist Xavier Cortada.

"Thank you very much for your
participation in the Community U conference. Your creativity and passion and ability to
articulate and motivate were all key to making this piece a success. Truly, the mural and its creation process became a thread
interwoven throughout the conference to create community --gathering all participants
together and lifting them up for the trip--and the work--back home.
Thank you very much.
My regards,
Lillian Henegar, Executive Director
Governor's Commission for a Drug-Free Indiana
