On May 16, an enthusiastic crowd gathered at the 57th Street railroad viaduct to celebrate Bernard Williams's restoration of Astrid Fuller's widely acclaimed murals. Fuller painted the murals on several viaduct retaining walls, beginning in the early 1970s. The murals are characterized as "confrontational" due to their subject matter which illustrates socioeconomic and political aspects of Chicago history. The University of Chicago paid for the restoration. Other supporters include 5th Ward Alderman Leslie Hairston, Metra, and community organizations throughout Hyde Park.
