Philadelphia will honor Sadie T. M. Alexander, a pioneering civil rights lawyer and economist, with a statue

Philadelphia is seeking artists to create a statue to honor civil rights lawyer and economist Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander and is planning a public meeting on the project Nov. 7.

Creative Philadelphia, the city’s office that oversees public art, said Alexander “broke barriers in academia and law and fought to protect the civil rights of underserved communities.”
