““I would like for 7 bronze statues of women to be the monument. I chose Harriet Tubman, Florence Nightingale, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Susan B Anthony, Katherine Johnson, Rosa Parks and a little girl to be the seventh. Under each statue a plaque of their honor and what they did to serve our country. I want them all to be holding hands. “”
“I’ve read books about them and I have learned about their life and how they fought for what they believed in and they never gave up. I wanted the little girl to have a statue because I feel like there will be so many great women in the future also and that they should have a spot on here too to make history.”
“The braided pillars symbolize how the work of many women came together in the suffrage movement.”
