| Coca-Cola Wall Art Advertising Mural |
1950s. Uncovered during a downtown Tupelo building remodel, this Coca-Cola wall art advertisement features the iconic image of the hand holding the Coca-Cola bottle.
The information sign in the foreground describes the significance of this location during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. At the time, racial segregation was practiced at lunch counters in stores like Woolworth's, and the Tupelo location became a site of protest. Following the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Woolworth's decided to end racial segregation across all its stores.
