In August of 2020, a fresh bronze figure joined Central Park's statues - the Women's Rights Pioneers Monument. Crafted by Meredith Bergmann, this statue of Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton sparks heated debates. Critics cry conspiracy, claiming the statue distorted the truth about Black women's activism history, particularly Sojourner's role. Unveiled in 2013 by the Monumental Women Association, this statue has never left the chatter in the park.
