Whitehaven has an interesting history. Originally, it was its own town before being annexed into the Memphis city limits. Although most of its historical landmarks have been demolished over the years, much of its pride and history reside within its people of the community. This mural was designed with those ideals in mind. Portraits and landscapes used are of landmarks, teachers and business people positively influencing the local youth, current and future residents of the community.
