The Butterfly Effect: Dreams Take Flight (2011)

Shortly after an EF5 tornado demolished many structures in Joplin, a sign of hope appeared on one building that had withstood the storm. More than 300 community volunteers came together to help award-winning muralist Dave Lowenstein paint an image of beauty amid the brokenness, a message of optimism for the city’s future. A quote from Joplin native Langston Hughes is included in the mural: “In time of silver rain, the butterflies lift silken wings to catch a rainbow sky and trees put forth new leaves to sing in joy beneath the sky.”
