First Female Statue On Public Property In Lexington Will Be Unveiled

Lexington Herald-Leader

"Katsina" will be in the Lexington Women's Recognition Garden at Wellington Park and will be revealed during a ceremony on Mother's Day which is May 13. The ceremony is from 2 to 4 p.m.

The statue will be the first artwork installed after the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights called for more works depicting and honoring women.

Victoria Meyer, who is chair of the garden, says organizers wanted something that represented all ethnicities and occupations.
