AURORA, Colo. — A statue celebrating the life and legacy of Dr. Justina Ford was unveiled in The Aurora Highlands neighborhood in Aurora.
"Over the past 15 years, 99% of our sculpture commission requests have been for statues of men,” read a statement from the artists. “When we dug deeper, we found this to be a global issue compelling us to pledge our creativity towards rectifying this imbalance. Stories like Dr.
Bloom and Carla Ferreira, director of onsite development and principal at The Aurora Highlands, were instrumental in bringing the statue to the neighborhood. "When she comes to Colorado to get her license, she was extended her license begrudgingly," said Rice-Allen."The gentleman says, 'You're Black, you're female. I shouldn't be giving you this. I shouldn't be taking your money,' but has given her her license."
In the last years of her life, Dr. Ford was given access to practice in hospitals, but she made her mark on the community long before that. A 2020 photograph at The Black American West Museum & Heritage Center shows a gathering of people who had been delivered by Dr. Ford.
