On April 28th the formal announcement of the Mother Jones Sculpture Design winners took place in front of a packed attendance.

A four-person team headed by Kathleen Farrell and Kathleen Scarboro won the contest. The team will include David Standifer and Dante DiBartolo. They are committed to a dynamic presentation of Mother Jones in their work.

This group will now complete the design development and bring the magnificent sculpture to reality near the iconic Water Tower in Chicago. It will be a memorable and fitting tribute to the spirit of Mother Jones, once described as ‘the most dangerous woman in America.’ On behalf of the Cork Mother Jones Committee, we would like to congratulate all involved in this great project and we long to see Mother Jones taking her rightful place in Chicago.
