Hulu is moving forward with its commitment to correct the dearth of public statues honoring women with the launch of Made by Her: Monuments. The initiative will see the streamer mount public works …
The Douglas and King monuments will be unveiled this summer with Ginsburg’s slated for 2022.
“Despite the tremendous contributions that women have made throughout U.S. history, they are still widely underrepresented in public monuments throughout the country,” said Hulu president Kelly Campbell. “Now more than ever, it is crucial to acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of women and other underrepresented groups and Hulu is proud to play a meaningful role in doing so.
The Douglas piece will be located within the oak hammock of Miami’s Peacock Park in Coconut Grove — located not far from the Marjory Stoneman Douglas House — and it pays tribute through a space to sit in repose while surrounded by nature. King’s monument will be set at the King Center in Atlanta near Martin Luther King Jr’s eternal flame. It is to feature a hand-crafted sculpture of microphones on a mosaic tile plinth as a reminder of the power of using one’s voice. As a special feature, people will have the opportunity to speak into the sculpture and have their voices amplified.
The monument inspired by Ginsburg will find a home at the Van Nuys Civic Center in Los Angeles where it will be in close proximity to the courthouse and public library and what was once a center of Jewish communal life.
