Tribute to Lillian Marrero by Danny Torres and Peter Pagast is a mural at the intersection of N 6th St and W Lehigh Ave. Completed in 2005 by the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, the painting honors Lillian Marrero for her work and dedication to the North Philadelphia community. Marrero was a librarian, advocate, and community leader. In 2006, the neighborhood library where Marrero worked, across the street from the mural, was renamed in her honor. In this episode, we’ll speak with three of our colleagues from the Lillian Marrero Library: Tania Maria Rios Marrero, daughter of Lillian Marrero and Community Organizer, Mieka Moody, Library Supervisor, and Natalie Walker, Digital Resource Specialist.
