Alison Saar’s towering bronze statue carrying a battered suitcase, represents the thousands who escaped the Jim Crow South to find opportunities in Chicago. Looming over the entrance of Bronzeville, the monument is surrounded by more suitcases textured with a pattern from the tin ceilings of the era.
