There are several of these "I Am Black History" murals scattered around the valley. I spot them every now and then. I love finding them because then I learn something about an accomplished person who didn't receive enough accolades during their lifetime.
Since this is Black History Month, this is the perfect time to post the a few of these murals.
Wendell Scott (1921-1990) was the first African American to win a NASCAR race in 1963.
He was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 1999 and the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2015.
Taking part in Monday Murals.
