A photo of The Fifth Ctiy Mural (beautifully detailed sketch below, maybe by Rick True) was featured in Atlantic magazine article by Ta-Nehisi Coates. 

Our Social Justice Sunday School was studying discrimination and gentrification. .  It was a story of the loan trickery that was used to block homeowners on the West Side.  The article only briefly indicated that one West Side organization was doing some work to help.  homeowners.  This is all from memory.   I’ll try to locate that article to verify.  Rick and Connie True were part of our 5th City House around 1977 and Rick was doing some amazing sketches at that time.  If someone else has data, please respond.  Lynda Cock
