Statue of Billie Holiday

  • ... that the Statue of Billie Holiday in Upton, Baltimore, also depicts a crow eating a gardenia? Source: "Added onto the bronze base, just behind the figure and just above the artists signature, is a crow, a symbol of the Jim Crow laws, eating a gardenia" ([1] Cindy Kelly, Outdoor Sculpture in Baltimore: A Historical Guide to Public Art in the Monumental City, JHU Press, 2011, pg.275)

  • The copyright to the statue was registered, thus the image is non-free and the hook can't appear on the main page with an image of the statue. Dylsss(talk contribs) 21:46, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
Alas. I've removed the image. No Swan So Fine (talk) 14:58, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
