[unknown] Ross' mural captures a snapshot of Black rural life in the twentieth century. Outside, two men are ranching, while others play checkers on the porch. Inside, one woman is cooking in the kitchen while another cares for a child in bed. The composition also highlights the gendered division of labor, and how women’s work is often pushed to the margins. -
[unknown] Across two panels, separated by a mural, Oliver’s mural uses crosshatched, dark green hues to depict a woman and child (together) and a man (separate). Almost all art students painted only one mural; Oliver was an exception. Because of his enthusiasm and talent, he painted several murals, often using small spaces between other students’ works. -

[unknown] Taylor's mural captures a snapshot of Houston’s Third Ward in the mid-20th century. An ad for Big Mama Thornton’s Harlem Stars’ performance at City Auditorium indicates that Houston is the setting. The scene is a busy and varied one; people in various sorts of dress walk around, while children play in the streets and a derelict man sits by a tree. -
