Building community through tamales A new mural for a Black female trailblazer

The Lighthouse has been a neighborhood hub, hosting programs and events for the North Philly community, since 1893. They pride themselves on bringing people together and showcasing different cultures - which makes them the perfect partner for Cantina La Martina to host their annual La Tamalada festival, celebrating a Mexican tradition centered around tamales. Racquel Williams learns more about the festival, happening on February 15, and what else The Lighthouse has to offer. Then, on Shara in the City, we visit the Greene Street Friends School, where Mural Arts just unveiled a mural honoring abolitionist and suffragist Frances Ellen Watkins Harper. Shara Dae Howard talks with the artist, community members, and students about what Harper’s legacy means to them.
