Third Decade designed this poster for Discover Roxbury:
Roxbury's is one of the poorest areas of the city, yet the residents are surrounded by historical riches. Important sites include Highland Park (the location from which George Washington and the Continental Army began their journey to drive the British out of Boston), the First Church of Roxbury (one of the oldest churches in the Boston area), the former residences of William Lloyd Garrison and Malcolm X, the National Museum of Afro-American Artists, and a wealth of murals from the Black Arts Movement.

Did they commission this?
Did they commission this? It's a good concept, but I think as a graphic it definitely needs to be reworked (and spellchecked!)
spelling errors?
I looked at it 3 or 4 times but don't see any misspellings. What is wrong?
