  • Commission on Public Art Inventory Review Online Comment Submissions the Public Comments in This Document Were Collected from Au
    Commission on Public Art inventory review online comment submissions The public comments in this document were collected from August 15 to September 5. They are in response to a call from Mayor Greg Fischer, encouraging the public to add their voice to the review of public art that can be interpreted to honor bigotry, discrimination, racism and/or slavery. 40204: I am not opposed to removing the Castleman statue. I would miss having a horse in the neighborhood, however, so if it could be replaced by another rider, perhaps Oliver Lewis and Aristides, the first KY Derby winners. That would be cool. Any statue with Confederate imagery should be removed. Period. 40299: We should not have public murals and statues of leaders of the confederacy. The bottom line is that these men of the confederacy fought to keep hatred, bigotry and racism alive. I don't want our city to have statues honoring these men, because I know Louisville is an inclusive community dedicated to bringing different folks together. 40212: Remove all statues glorifying these traitors. I can’t imagine what a PoC feels about these abominations. 40243: Please leave history ALONE... 40208: A democracy should have monuments celebrating the oppressed and not the oppressors. We need to tear down any monuments celebrating the Confederacy. I also think you should add to this list nude portraits, paintings objectifying women, and paintings featuring people in poverty. I would recommend going through the library and removing all books before 1975 and blocking all websites that involve actual thinking. History has been written, to ignore it is unwise.

  • Statues in Public Spaces of Historical Women in Kentucky
    H-Kentucky Statues in Public Spaces of Historical Women in Kentucky Discussion published by Randolph Hollingsworth on Monday, May 21, 2018 It was with great delight that we found out about the Lifetime Herstory Map - https://www.mylifetime.com/about-lifetimes-herstory-map-a-guide-to-americas-statues-of-women . Sadly, we saw that they only had one Kentucky woman monument on their map: Elizabeth Rogers in Berea, on Boone Street. She was the wife of Berea College principal, John A.R. Rogers - and one of the first teachers at the college, the first interracial school in the South. According to the plaque: "The sculpture depicts a scene that might have taken place in the school house in the mid-1860s. Elizabeth Rogers teaches about equality and freedom in the Declaration of Independence." We asked the Lifetime editors to add some more existing statues of historical women in public spaces in Kentucky. Here's the ones we know about - do you know of more? Mary Gaylord McClean (in Shelbyville, KY): Yes, the Smithsonian list entry for this monument leads with the horse's name, but Gwen Reardon's equine sculpture of Santana Lass includes a full portrayal of the rider/owner, Mary Gaylord (located at the entrance of the Shelbyville Fairgrounds). Mary Gaylord (later McClean) is a champion owner/breeder/exhibitor and has her own Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Gaylord_McClean Here are some images of the statue and plaque that we found posted on an equine-related discussion board Statue Plaque Catherine Spalding (in Louisville, KY): The Catholic Sisters of Charity of Nazareth support the bronze statue of Mother Catherine Spalding that was erected in 2015 in front of the Cathedral of the Assumption (433 S 5th Street, Louisville, KY 40202).
