Black History Month

In celebration of Black History Month, we are saluting area black leaders throughout February who have made or are making an impact on local communities.

George “Speedie” Hopkins Jr. was granted permission by Steubenville Council in 1984 to paint the first mural of the Market Street Bridge in the Market Street Mini Park. Hopkins is employed in Oakland, Calif., as a computer graphic design specialist.
