ast year at the BlackStar Film Festival, Mark Ah Savage screened “From Man to Man: The Legacy of Air Smooth – Reections on the Life of Dr. Shawn L. White.” It’s a 22-minute lm that distilled the South Philadelphian’s legacy into four distinct categories: “The Beginning,” “Musician,” “Educator” and “Health.” It was cre-
ated for the two sons he survived, Asa and Quadry, “as a vision board of their father’s sound moral grounding and expansive life motivations.” The short film’s an ideal starting point for the mural, to be called ASpire, that will find a home at 2059 Dickinson St., to honor the late great South Philadelphian who found early success in hip-hop but whose life work might be more appropriately See MURAL ARTS page 10 >>
