SUMMARY:Paul 'Unk P' Gripper Mural Dedication
DESCRIPTION:This project honors the life of Paul “Unk P” Gripper\n\n\nA winning submission of our public mural application process\, this project honors the life of Paul “Unk P” Gripper\, a North Philadelphia community member who inspired and mentored young men—many of whom garnered entrance and scholarship to college— through the game of basketball. Paul was described as a larger-than-life figure\, known for his loud\, braggadocious personality. He embodied the spirit of Philadelphia—always cracking jokes and having fun\, often silly but uplifting. Paul had a heart as big as his stature and was considered “a teddy bear with street smarts” by those closest to him. He often wore sneakers or Timberland boots. He was a beloved basketball coach and a father figure to many young people in the community. The mural\, located at 2600 Ridge Avenue\, was designed by artist Nilé Livingston and will be produced by Keisha Whatley.
