Washington D.C.- Jazz Musician, ICON and Legend- Mural at the Corner of U Street & 14th Street, (the Jazz street corridor of the Nations Capital) – I SALUTE “The Wailen Postman” Buck Hill, Helen Hill, Robin Hill, Debra Hill, Steven Walker and the Remainder of the Family and Friends who had the privilege of ever having known the Hill Family, been part of the Hill Family and who experienced the Love and Warmth generated by their presence in your life. I was fondly known as She-She..Mama Helen was the Only person in my life to call me that, and no one else ever will.

A tribute mural, sponsored by the District of Columbia Department of Public Works Murals DC project and donated by Snell Properties, featuring Hill playing a saxophone in his mailman uniform, was unveiled on August 27, 2019, which Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser declared “Roger Wendell Buck Hill Day” in the _ty. The mural, at just over 70 feet, is the tallest tribute mural in the nation’s capital. It is located at 1925 14th Street, NW, on the side of the Elysium Fourteen building at the intersection of 14th and the historic U Street Corridor in northwest, DC, where noted African American artists performed from the 1920-1960s.
