Mural of Train Guard who Fought ‘Whites-Only’ Rule

A new mural has been unveiled in the city center to honour the bravery of a train guard who stood up against the ‘whites-only’ rule during the civil rights movement. The mural depicts the guard, whose name is not known, standing tall in his uniform as he refuses to enforce the discriminatory policy.

The incident took place in the 1960s when segregation was still prevalent in many parts of the United States. The guard’s courageous act sparked a wave of protests and ultimately led to the desegregation of public transportation in the city.

The mural serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals who fought for equality and justice during a difficult time in history. It also highlights the importance of standing up against injustice and discrimination, even when it may come at a personal cost.

Local residents have praised the mural as a powerful symbol of resistance and hope. Many hope that it will inspire future generations to continue the fight for equality and to never remain silent in the face of oppression.
