The 12' Monument of Adam Clayton Powell Junior was unveiled at the State building at 125th street. Among those in attendance were Governor Pataki and Mayor Bloomberg.
The ACPJMC chose New York City artist Branly Cadet to design and sculpt the statue. The 12-foot high monument, cast in bronze with a silver nitrate patina, depicts Powell ascending an elevated course of granite, which refers to the difficulties that hampered his innovative ideas. Mr. Cadet collaborated with a Brooklyn Foundry, New Foundry New York, Inc., which cast and installed the sculpture.
