Sojourner Truth, Commemorative Statue Committee

In honor of Sojourner Truth, and in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, a committee of local Summit County women are raising funds to commission local artist Woodrow Nash to create a statue.

This statue will serve as an ongoing opportunity to educate the public on the progress made over the last 100 years and honor the fight for voting rights for all women — especially many women of color who were excluded from voting until the 1960s.
