City Of Safety Harbor issued the following announcement on Jun. 11.

Check out Safety Harbor's newest mural celebrating the life and accomplishments of William Blackshear. Blackshear was Safety Harbor's first African American Commissioner. In addition to his service as an elected official, he assisted in bringing childcare to Black communities.

He helped start the Lincoln Nursery Association, and within a year a child daycare center was opened where the Mattie Williams Neighborhood Family Center is located today.

A big thank you to artist Beth Warmath and her team and to the Mattie Williams Neighborhood Family Center.
