Make it Leah's Circle

Make it Leah's Circle
Why this petition matters
We have an empty space at Lee's Circle in New Orleans. There is no better New Orleanian to honor at the circle than Leah Chase. We should honor Mrs. Chase and her legacy by making it "Leah Chase's Circle. " A statue of Leah Chase would bring all New Orleanians together in honor of one of our greatest culture bearers.
Mrs. Chase has been a tireless champion for New Orleans' food and culture and has made an enormous impact on not just New Orleans, but the United States through her tireless commitment to civil rights and her work to uplift our communities. Mrs. Chase represents the best of New Orleans. Honoring Leah Chase with a statue would be a well deserved honor in the spirit of the Crescent City and its proud residents.
The Southern Food and Beverage Museum is proud to cover the cost of the creation and installation of a statue of Leah Chase. Support this petition and let our city government know that we've found the right person to represent New Orleans in one of the city's most prominent locations. This wonderful addition to our city will require no taxpayer funding.
