When we first introduced you to Seattle artist Melvin Freeman in March, he was at work on an inspirational, sprawling mural in Seattle's Central District neighborhood on 23rd Avenue South in front of the Northwest African American Museum.
Today we revisit Freeman as he and Seattle artist Perri Rhoden wrap up the the work in Seattle's oldest, historically Black neighborhood.
