Description
-
McNeil’s mural depicts Christian themes. Christian iconography of the cross, lamb, wine, and dove appear in the composition. The design subverts classical Christian art by inserting everyday Black people in stained-glass style, instead of highly stylized, white saints. McNeil took pride in painting the first cross in Hannah Hall.
