Three stained-glass medallions that tell an allegorical story of justice in America, made by James “Yaya” Hough, were formally unveiled at Esplanade Plaza in Battery Park City this weekend. For Hough, who served 27 years in prison upon being handed a life sentence as a minor, the triptych of five-foot circular pieces integrates specific references to the United States’s history of injustice through imagery of chains and hooded Klansmen, and more universal iconography of freedom and justice rendered in an Art Deco style. “I’m excited about this commission because it opens the public space up to a new voice that people don’t typically hear from particularly in a positive way,” Hough told Hyperallergic. “This voice is trying to speak about justice as it relates to how we live in this country, how we bring equity and fairness to this country, how we do that through looking at aspects of our past, and how we realize something better through contemplation of that — in this case through art.”

Save Wagner Park in New York: Act Now!
Asking all the New Yorkers out there and the New York lovers - we all know how concrete the city is, right? Well, it’s about to become more concrete because in a matter of a few days, the beloved Wagner Park in Battery Park City is about to close for a 2-year construction project that would eliminate most of green space and chop down 112 (!) mature trees! For those who don’t know, Wagner Park is also home to endangered Monarch Butterflies and bees - the essential members of nature that keep the life going.... Voice your voice. Let the authorities of the plan know that you need more green space and that the trees are essential for bringing down the rising temperatures. The city we love so much needs more green space, no less. Click here to learn more about the project that is about to destroy one of the NY gems: Wagner Park and you can stop it! https://savewagner.com/

“Watching the tall ships.” American Bicentennial Festival in New York City. July 4th, 1976. Photographed by Nick Dewolf.
“On the eastern side of the plaza a monumental bronze eagle, sculpted by Albino Manca (1898–1976) and set on a pedestal of polished black granite, grips a laurel wreath over a wave-signifying the act of mourning at the watery grave.” (Source)
