Explore The Temple Murals: The Life of Malcolm X by artist Florian Jenkins through a 3D virtual tour.

The Temple Murals: The Life of Malcolm X was painted by artist Florian Jenkins during a five-month period in 1972. It is located in the Shabazz Center for Intellectual Inquiry, a private residential space on Dartmouth's campus not open (or accessible) to the public. The murals speak to a potent moment in American history, one connected to events both in the life of civil rights leader Malcolm X and the moment of Dartmouth history in which the mural was created. We are excited that the murals can now be enjoyed and explored by all through this virtual 3D tour.
