DETROIT – The City of Detroit is calling out to artists to make a new statue for Joe Louis, and there’s a perfect spot for it.
The statue will be located along Joe Louis Greenway. It will highlight Louis’ life outside of the ring as a golfer who paved the way for Black Americans on the course. The deadline for the statue commission application is Nov. 11, 2024.
The statue is set to be unveiled in August 2025…
