Restoration for Houston mural damaged during Hurricane Harvey

HOUSTON (AP) – Restoration work on a Houston mural that was damaged during Hurricane Harvey have been put on hold because the building’s roof needs repairs. The Houston Chronicle reports that John Biggers’ “Contribution of Negro Women To American Life and Education” mural won’t be able to undergo a full professional restoration job until enough funds are secured to repair the building’s roof. The Houston Endowment has provided $258,000 for the roof repairs, but at least $200,000 more is needed.
