Wynder, the longtime Democratic Leader of the 38th Ward, and long a community activist in North Philadelphia, found he had to unveil an oil portrait of himself, which now joins a gallery of international, State and City personalities who have led distinctive careers. According to Dr. Walter Palmer, CEO and president of the school, located at 910 N. 6th Street, the “portraits lining the halls and offices of this 10year-old school, now in an $11 million building, are there to serve as models for our students.” Our 900 students, from pre-school to high school, get a chance to look at modern-history leaders who have made a difference in their communities and through their offices.” Others who have been recently honored with wall portraits include Herman Wrice, Bernie Swann, Rev. Tom Logan, John Skief and Bilal Qayyum. All of the oil paintings have been done by Karen Jones, a staff member at the school. Wynder is also chairman of the Residents Coalition C.D.C. and is kept busy overseeing activities on a daily basis at Chalmers Park, 29th & Chalmers Streets, with John Brickhouse. Together they keep neighborhood events
