WOMEN IN PUBLIC ART SURVEY

The City of Pittsburgh will be commissioning a statue or sculpture to honor the important legacy of African American women in Pittsburgh. This sculpture or statue may take the form of a specific woman or will be a way of honoring many.

Listed below are a few prominent figures from our City’s history for your consideration (these women were researched and nominated by Pittsburgh historian Dr. Jessie B. Ramey, and selected to represent a wide range of women’s leadership since the City’s incorporation over 200 years ago). Please feel free to select one of the listed names, or use the boxes at the bottom of this form to submit the names of additional African American women who have made an impact on Pittsburgh’s history for consideration.
