The streets and sites of Roxbury received a Royal bronzing yesterday, thanks to 5 high school and junior high school students. The artists, ages 13 to 20, have each crafted the design for a manhole cover that will be installed at Roxbury Cedar Square park. Each bronzed artwork, depicting scenes from the neighborhood where the artists grew up, was cast in bronze yesterday at the Mead foundry in Bedford....

Artist Gevel Marrero said it was important that people remember the old elevated Dudley Square MBTA station. So Marrero studied hundreds of pictures before sketching a stylistic creation of it. "This may be my first step toward my career as an architect," said Moreno, 20. "One day, I want to build buildings in my community." [Boston Herald October 25, 1991]
