Artist announced for Kip Tiernan memorial

Next year, the City of Boston will install a contemporary LED sculpture outside Old South Church along Dartmouth Street to commemorate social justice activist Kip Tiernan. In 1974, Kip founded Rosie's Place, the first drop-in and emergency shelter for women in the United States. She also co-founded Poor People's United Fund, which is housed in our building. The selected design for the memorial has been announced - "Wisdom Lines" by Alabama-based artist Deedee Morrison.
