Civil rights trailblazer Ida B. Wells-Barnett had her legacy further cemented in Chicago on Wednesday with the unveiling of the “The Light of Truth” monument in Bronzeville.
The monument was dedicated at a ceremony with a hopeful air featuring many speeches from Black women, who honored the memory of the educator and investigative journalist known for her quest against the lynching of Black people and anti-Black discrimination.
Created by African American abstract sculptor and Chicago artist Richard Hunt, the bronze work features what observers described as a flame on top with her likeness on the side of the base with one of her well-known quotes: “The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them.”
