Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. President Gwendolyn Greene and Dr. Charles Urdy, Chairman, Austin Revitalization Authority officially dedicated the mural at Kealing Middle School, Tuesday, August 30, 2011. The mural was done by Brian "Bydeeman" Jopseph. Joseph, owner of the ByDee Art Gallery on E. 11th Street, in Austin completed the work in record time, because he is leaving Austin to move back to New York.
The public was welcomed to the dedication by Kealing Principal Michael Perkins. Austin Independent School District Superintendent Dr. Meria Carstarphen and number of school administrators were in attendance along with other school personel.
Delta Southwest Region Director, Mae Frances Rowlett of Dallas was also in attendance. She stated that she made the trip just after returning from Washington, D. C. for the dedication of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial that was unveiled last week on the Washington Mall.
The Kealing project is the last in a series of murals that Joseph has done for several East Austin schools. He says that he hopes that this project will bring happiness to Kealing Middle SchoolAdministrators, Faculty, Parents and Students each time it is viewed.
Brian "ByDeeman" Joseph has been a part of the Austin community for more than 27 years. His work can be seen all over the Austin area. He says that he will be coming back from time, because he still has family here. However, he will be going to New York to spend some time with his mother.
