Murals celebrating immigrants past and present are cropping up in Boston neighborhoods as part of the city's take on the national "To Immigrants With Love" campaign. The murals, which began cropping up this summer, juxtapose real life Boston immigrants from past generations with more recent newcomers.
One mural features a Russian couple who founded a local liquor store empire with a Dominican man who owns an electronic repair store. Another depicts an Italian catering company owner and a Mexican community activist. The works of art also include a quote translated into Spanish, Italian, Yiddish and other languages: "You will always be welcome in the city of Boston."
