Great mural in downtown Waterloo

https://wcfcourier.com/news/local/education/were-all-iowa-nice----new-mural-website-challenge-idea-of-what-iowa/article_14e9862b-ff1f-5ce2-8ad8-92d6b694aaf1.html#tracking-source=home-top-story-1

UNI professors and practicum students put up a wheat-paste mural that depicts Waterloo's and Iowa's diversity. Have a look, it's pretty cool.

From the article:

The project also was based on guidance from Nikole Hannah-Jones, the Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times writer and Waterloo native who visited UNI last fall.

The project, “Diversity Is Our Strength,” is now not only on a building but online, at dios.uni.edu. On the website, each face is clickable, and shows a short bio of each person as well as their “immigration story,” and what “Iowa Nice” and “Diversity Is Our Strength” means to them.
