During the fall of 1998, Xavier Cortada worked with trainable mentally handicapped students in Ms. Janet Ludwig's classroom at Kensington Park Elementary School. The students created a 16 foot long mural for the Special Olympics Opening Ceremonies on October 23, 1998 at the Bayfront Amphitheater in Miami's Claude and Mildred Pepper Bayfront Park. Very special mural kicks off olympics.
