Ed has been inundated with with
public art projects throughout the country. He unveiled four
major monuments in 2001 including the first bi-national monument
in Detroit, MI and Windsor, Canada dedicated to the International
Underground Railroad Movement; the African American History
Monument on the Capitol Grounds in Columbia, SC, and a memorial
to the first Black legislator in Ohio, George Washington Williams,
installed in the State Capitol in Columbus, OH.
He is creating one of the largest memorials to date in
the U.S., honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. that will be installed
in Denver, CO. His long continued passion is the creation of
the only tribute to African Americans on the Washington Mall,
the Black Revolutionary War Patriots Memorial which honors the
5,000 Blacks that served and fought with George Washington in
the Revolutionary War, that resulted in the birth of the nation.
It will be located between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington
Monument in Washington, DC.
Ed Dwight is truly a renaissance man!
