First district Council member Andrea James and Mayor Jim Newberry participated in the unveiling of plans for the Isaac Murphy Memorial Art Garden, near the intersection of Third Street and Midland Avenue. Murphy, an African-American Hall-of-Fame jockey, lived in the area near the proposed art garden in the late nineteenth century. He is considered by many to be one of the greatest jockeys of all time. For more information on the proposed art garden, visit the Isaac Murphy Web site.
