The Death of Wilbur Wright

Detroit Funk, being more interesting compared to Faded Detroit, showed unique funky pictures. One that got to me was The Death of Wilbur Wright, the Wilbur Wright School, that is. It was a mixture of the pictures and the words that moved me.

Seven pictures down, a picture of murals in what was of the school of performing arts is left, and dfunk writes:
The remaining school murals tell a sad tale of an institution that had once taught gifted children music, art and dance.
It's a pity this is what is left of the school.

It is sad that this institution is not around anymore. We are fortunate that detroit, itself, is still a mecca for artists and musicians alike. Some of the most influential artists have been born and raised in or around Detroit.
