Marian A. Spencer is the perfect person to break the barrier
to become Cincinnati’s first named woman statue
Woman’s City Club of Greater Cincinnati has commissioned the first statue of a named woman in Cincinnati for civil rights icon Marian A. Spencer. Marian was an extraordinary woman of grace and dignity who spent her life working for equality, justice, and her belief that each of us has the ability to make the world a better place. We are asking for your support in this effort. Marian A. Spencer is the perfect person to break the barrier to become Cincinnati’s first woman statue!
READ MORE about Marian’s accomplishments.
Marian Spencer stood up fearlessly for what she believed was right and set the example to be smart, be polite, vote and keep on fighting.
Tom Tsuchiya and Gina Erardi are the sculptors. Tsuchiya is well known for his local sculptures, including the bronze statues of Cincinnati Reds players at Great American Ball Park.
There will be a dedication of the statue on the 100th birth date of Marian Spencer, June 28, 2020.

Education Panel Seeks Volunteers
The Cincinnatus Education Panel is looking for volunteers to help with its Leader-to-Leader program.
For the past 12 years, Cincinnatus has collaborated with Cincinnati Public Schools to recruit business leaders who mentor principals on leadership and management. The principals in turn help the business leaders understand urban public education.
The Education Panel is looking for 12 new volunteers for the coming year. Volunteers need not be Cincinnatus members.
