Imagined Glassboro Mural Proposal: The Other Side of the Tracks

This is an Imagined Mural Proposal, part of the Rowan Honors Cultural Geography course. Students were to design and propose an imagined mural for Glassboro that explored the history, memory, and places of Glassboro.
This proposed mural by Amanda Carlin discusses how the train tracks were a form of a physical border that separated poorer nonwhite neighborhoods from the nicer white neighborhoods. It also discusses the separation in education, due to segregation students had to walk further past the train tracks to get to their school.
