Public's help sought to repaint Obama mural at Breakfast Klub in Houston

Houston artist Reginald Adams and The Breakfast Klub restaurant are again inviting the public to help paint a newly redesigned mural of President Barack Obama.

The event is scheduled to begin about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday with tracing the image onto the wall across the street from the popular midtown restaurant at Alabama and Travis.

Public painting is expected to begin about 7:30 p.m., organizers said.

The mural was defaced in the early hours of Jan. 28 for the second time in recent months.

"I will pick up a brush and paint it again".

They can deface it all they want, they can't stop reality or the idea.
