DENVER - Join a group of Denver Public Schools Bruce Randolph students, staff, community partners, and community members in the unveiling of a special mural honoring the school's namesake and beloved community philanthropist, “Daddy Bruce” Randolph.
The idea for the mural began last fall as a restorative response measure to support a group of five students. In collaboration with the GRASP youth organization, students were connected to Ulises Villa, a well-known mural and graffiti artist, to turn their passion for graffiti into a special work of art for the school community.
Working with Ulises, the students developed a sketch of the mural that will represent their community and send a meaningful message. The mural, which incorporates “Daddy Bruce” Randolph, will also represent their school community in other ways, including a nod to Chicano culture, and a message to "stop the violence.”
Photo, video, and interview opportunities will be available.

WHEN: Monday, Feb. 26, 3:30 p.m.
