The Mothers of Gynecology Monument in Montgomery, AL is a powerful tribute to the enslaved women, Anarcha, Lucy, and Betsey, who were subjected to inhumane medical experiments by Dr. J. Marion Sims in the 1840s. This 15-foot monument sheds light on the forgotten heroes of history and serves as a symbol of the ongoing racial disparities in the healthcare industry.
The monument is part of The More Up Campus, an organization dedicated to honoring the voiceless and marginalized through creative means. Through the Mothers of Gynecology monument and future projects like the Health and Wellness Museum and Clinic, as well as the Creative Changemakers Museum, The More Up Campus aims to educate, inspire, and promote social justice activism.
