Lynch Law versus Settled Tribunal -- Superstition and Science (details)
Two stories of advancement are shown here by Everett Jeffrey. First, we have mob rule evolving into today's court system. Then the hokum of faith healers giving way to the miracles of modern medicine.
Description
Once a U.S. Federal Courthouse & Post Office, the building at 101 S 1st St. in Cedar Rapids, Iowa now serves as the city hall. The courtroom is now the chambers for the city council, and is the location for four murals generated under the Treasury Relief Art Project between 1936-1937.
