Hometown Heroes is a local non-profit organization in Louisville, KY that aims to enhance civic pride by honoring famous Louisvillians through giant photographic murals. Started in 2002, the Hometown Heroes program began with the installation of a mural honoring Muhammad Ali and has since expanded to recognize other notable individuals from various professions who have inspired others and positively represented the city. These vinyl banners, reaching heights of up to 60 feet, can be found on the sides of buildings throughout the Louisville-Metro Area, showcasing the city's pride and celebrating its accomplished citizens.
The latest addition to the Hometown Heroes campaign is a banner dedicated to Jennifer Lawrence, a beloved Louisville native and renowned actress. This particular banner was made possible by the efforts of a group of North Oldham Middle and High School students, known as the Lawrence Ladies, who raised $10,000 through a grassroots campaign to fund the installation. By honoring local icons and involving the community in the process, Hometown Heroes continues to build an exciting and positive image of Louisville.
