Each person in the line will donate $10. The national group plans to raise $80 to $100 million. Because the line wasn't routed to go through Columbia, Burroughs called the national headquarters and asked how Columbia could get involved. The national office told him .mint ^iiics iar away irom mc line are making and signing banners, and taking them to the nearest point of the line to say their city supports the cause, he said. The group decided to put this idea in action, and asked Blue ""A Sky, creator of "Tunnel Vision," ^ to paint the mural.
