Jennifer Lawrence serving looks over I-64could we link to an IG photo maybe? and Harold “Pee Wee” Reese smilingon Main Street are just two of the Hometown Heroes celebrated in Derby City via giant photographic banners.I separated this out, since you had three names in here, but only two were official hometown heroes? If that's not right, feel free to readjust, but initial first sentence in this graf was a bit tough to parse out.

Currently, there are 31 vinyl banners — some as tall as 60 feet — honoring influential Louisville natives.too many em-dashes for one sentence Next year,did they give a specific date or at least a month? six new people will grace Derby City as part of the Hometown Heroes relaunch.can you link out to a news source?

The beginning

It started in 2002 with “the greatest of all time” — Muhammad Ali. Installing a giant photo of the legendary boxer was the sole project of the nonprofit Greater Louisville Pride Foundation (GLPF), but the program quickly expanded to recognize other famous people who have inspired others or represented Louisville to the rest of the world.

Class of 2023

In November, Hometown Heroes announced six new faces As noted earlier, I think this link should go higherjoining the banner crew in 2023. Here’s who is on the list:

John Asher | Known as the “Ambassador of the Kentucky Derby,” John was the vice president of communications at Churchill Downs from 1999 to 2018. during what time period?.
Jack Harlow | Jack is the current face of Louisville thanks to his successful rap career, but he’s also made sizable contributions to local organizations like AMPEDdo we need to spell this out? You did above for another nonprofit and the Center for Women and Families. I'd also link out to each org
Lionel Hampton | This internationally famous jazz musician worked with other iconic artists like Charlie Parker and Buddy Rich.
Justin Thomas | He was ranked the No. 1 golfer in the world in 2018. Could you see when that was? At least maybe the year for context?
Wes Unseld | Wes was the No. 2 overall pick of the 1968 NBA Draft, earned MVP and Rookie of the Year awards, and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1988.
David Jones Sr. | David co-founded Humana, which became the largest US hospital company during his tenure. Felt this might need a little more context, unless you think everyone in LOU already knows this. But in either case, here's just a style note to watch for fragments... I think for lists it's best to be consistent. Either have them all be complete sentences or all fragments. Mixing and matching might trip up the reader.

Bonus: Watch how the giant banners are printed and hung.
