Meanwhile, the city’s She Built NYC initiative, launched in 2018, will build monuments to jazz legend Billie Holiday, public health pioneer Helen Rodríguez Trías, civil rights leader Elizabeth Jennings Graham, lighthouse keeper Katherine Walker, and Shirley Chisholm, the nation’s first Black congresswoman.
Those names were chosen after a public poll; when the most-suggested woman, Saint Frances Cabrini, wasn’t among those chosen for a statue, her fellow Italian American, Governor Andrew Cuomo, took it upon himself to arrange for a monument in her honor. The statue, by Jill and Giancarlo Biagi, was unveiled in Battery Park City this past October. (The pandemic has delayed the city’s statues indefinitely.)
