MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis in May recently unveiled its poster for this year’s celebration and the artist who made it is a WREG employee.

Carl Moore did the artwork honoring Ghana. It’s done with acrylics on a canvas.

The unveiling was held at the National Civil Rights Museum and Moore said he studied the country before picking up his brush.

“To really focus on Ghana as a country was my end goal. Just to highlight the beauty, highlight its culture, highlight its industry and those things that make you want to visit Ghana.”
