ALTON Miles Davis has been recruited to help raise awareness for skin cancer.
His statue on Third Street in Alton will be dressed up for Skin Cancer Awareness Month, according to Miles Davis Jazz Festival chairperson Lee Barham.
“It’s a one-day event, May 1, and the dressing will be removed at the end of the event,” he said.
The jazz festival board worked with Godfrey-based Pride Inc. to erect the bronze Davis statue in front of Chez Marilyn, 119 W. 3rd St., Alton, in 2015.
Lisa Woods, chief operating officer of The GroundSwell Group who works with Barham on the jazz festival, contacted Barham about two weeks ago to discuss the statue as part of the group’s Skin Cancer Awareness Month campaign. The Alton statue was selected as Illinois’ statue for the campaign.

ALTON A candidates rally is planned noon to 1 p.m. Saturday across from Ardent Mills.
The event is organized by Lee Barham, a leader in the Madison County Democratic Party. Barham said he’s neutral in the April 6 elections but wants the best candidates to win.
Mayoral candidate David Goins has confirmed his participation, as have Rosetta Brown, 4th Ward Alderman candidate, and Steven Kimbrough Sr., city clerk candidate. Barham said candidates will give brief messages at a podium and take questions.
“After the election, we have got to come together to get it together for whoever the mayor is going to be,” he said. “We need to rally around our city officials to be able to move forward and it’s going to take all of us.”
