District V honors Roslyn Pope (1938-2023), a member of Atlanta’s first all-Black Girl Scout troop. The mural reads, “The Future Is Bright,” and features a vibrant, geometric background, which contrasts the realistic black and white portrait of Pope at its center. Street art often relies on the context of its location to amplify its meaning. In this case, the mural is located on the building that housed Atlanta’s oldest Black-owned newspaper and where Pope’s troop regularly held meetings.
“Pope, who dedicated her life to public service, civil rights, and Black rights, was the very definition of representation, and yet relatively few know about her achievements”

《第五区》意在纪念亚特兰大市第一支全黑人女童子军的成员——罗斯林·波普 (Roslyn Pope, 1938-2023)。壁画上写着“The Future Is Bright”（未来是光明的），背景采用了充满活力的几何图形，与壁画中心波普的黑白写实肖像形成鲜明对比。街头艺术通常依靠其所在位置的背景来放大其中所蕴含的意义。这幅壁画位于亚特兰大历史最悠久的黑人报纸所在的大楼上，波普当年参加的女童子军经常在这里举行会议。
“波普毕生致力于公共服务、民权和黑人权利，她是极具代表性的典范，但她的成就却鲜为人知。”
