Education Murals

Two 2023 murals by Keith Goodson at the Baker Central School in Punta Gorda.  

Benjamin Joshua Baker was the first teacher hired to teach at the "colored" school (now Baker Central School) and later its principal. For almost 20 years, Mary Nightingale drove the bus that carried black children from all over Charlotte County to Punta Gorda and the Baker school.

    A beautiful historical mural and it's great those two pioneers were honoured. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Jack.
